I ordered these LITERALLY a YEAR AGO to the day, and they JUST ARRIVED!
Apple stalled the Google location tracker network for as long as they could, but now we FINALLY have some competition for AirTags!

iOS 17.5 mit System gegen unerwünschtes Tracking

iOS 17.5 ändert diverse Dinge an Apple News+, welche hierzulande jedoch eher uninteressant sind. Wichtiger ist die neue Tracking-Benachrichtigung.

Can’t connect an AirTag to your iPhone, especially if that AirTag isn’t brand new or has had a battery replaced?

Take out the battery from the AirTag and put it back in. You should hear a chirp do this for more times for total of five times. That resets the AirTag. In my case, my #iPhone was able to then pick up the #AirTag and connect to it.

I got tired of losing the remote and searching for it so I gave it and put an AirTag on the home theater PC remote in my bedroom.

Another parent at school had an #Airtag placed on their car by an unknown (the intent of the person who did that is unclear).
Often heard/read about the "abusive partner/stalker" but this felt different (more like a car tagging ahead of robbery).

Anyway message was displayed on that dad's iphone last night but not this morning. They think the tracker might have been removed also I thought it might have been awake due to car movement and might have been sleeping this morning

Es sollte doch eigentlich mal, als #Apple #AirTag Pendant für #Android so Tracker kommen für das #FindmyDevice Netzwerk.
Gibt es da inzwischen eigentlich schon Teile zu kaufen?
