The Apple AirTag is a great location tracker. You can use it to track the location of lost items. Put them on your keys or even your pets. BUT there is one major flaw in the tracking system that COULD worry you if you lose an item in this specific location. Will you pick up an Apple AirTag? You can grab one for $30 or a 4-pack for $100.

Great video - I have a tag in my Everyday Carry and I think the moral of the story is for $30 when something happens like someone walks off with your bag (putting it nicely) or your puppy goes missing - would you want something that improves your chances to locate them? I say yes every time. I like the words at the end about false sense of security because that is so true

Great video thanks. I’ve been debating about getting one to put on our dogs. I think the reason it didn’t work out in the open field is that it relies on Nearfield Bluetooth and other people that are broadcasting on Bluetooth to help locate. In the city you’re running into a lot more Bluetooth fields/broadcasts then it would be out in the park. Just a thought.

There have been a ton of comments saying that AirTags are reliant on other iPhones to track accurately. Yes that is true. I’d like to point out that Destiny (the beautiful lady that had my Dog with her) had her iPhone with her as well when doing BOTH tests. I’d also like to point out that Brooklyn Bridge Park is a heavy traffic area with people. So I’d assume there were a lot of other iPhones in the general area as well. I’m not entirely sure what went wrong in the 2nd test. Which is why I assumed the heat may have been a factor. But a “lack of an iPhone” is definitely not the reason for the failure in my second test. Appreciate y’all ✌🏾

I think the reason you had a better time in the streets then in the park is because the airbag is dependent on how many iPhones are around. I’m sure there are far more iPhones closer together in the streets then in park where people are more spread out. Just my opinion.

This is like the fifth video that I have watched. it seems that everyone who owns these things bases their performance on nonexistent circumstances. These are Bluetooth devices. They work best when in an area saturated with iPhones and iPads that are not moving. That is how they lock onto the location of the AirTag that could possibly be moving, but of course all performance would be improved if none of these things were in motion. They work off of Bluetooth only. You’re talking about some thing that is working with less than a 60 foot range.

The information in this video is not correct. The ability to track an AirTag isn't dependent on being in a city area where there are streets or signs, and it's also not based on temperature. What it is dependent on is the AirTags proximity to an iPhone, with good cell service. If the AirTag is in a field or remote location and there are no iPhones near it, you're not going to see any location data in the Find My app. The same is true if the AirTag IS near an iPhone, but that phone doesn't have good cell service. That may have been why your park experiment went the way it did, the phones in the area didn't have good service, which is something you mentioned in the video.

@ddames 2 жыл бұрын

Wasn’t saying that my theories(street signs and temperature) on why the second test didn’t go well were 100% concrete. But I felt it was worth mentioning it.

Good point - but given the conditions of my test and the area I was in I don’t think it would’ve made a difference. If my iPhone couldn’t accurately track the AirTag even though her iPhone was in close proximity with the AirTag - I’d have little faith that the results would be different if she didn’t have her phone.
