> Events outside our control, such as Apple updating the firmware in the future to prevent the device from working, will not qualify for a refund. I fully understand why you would want to do this, but as a consumer I would never buy this product with this clause.

And the police shouldn't either? Seems like knowing the location of your stolen property would help with getting it back in most cases.
You have also developed a device that allows people to use AirTags for stalking.
This. Normal AirTags are just fine for tracking your stuff. > "(thiefs use apps to locate AirTags around, and AirTags will warn the thief if an unknown AirTag is travelling with them, for example if they steal your car)" The reason this was introduced is exactly because people used AirTags to stalk others. Advertising that your product turns that off is basically targeting that specific demographic.

Police won't or can't do anything if it could be in multiple units or would require any kind of warrant for the building as well as the specific unit you think it's in.
If you're "lucky" some might chaperone you knocking yourself, which itself is not something most want to entertain.
On account of police policy, AirTags are effectively useless for actually getting anything stolen back. You'll get more use out of them in filing your insurance claim if the theft of the item is covered under for example your homeowner's insurance policy.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

In practice it does not. If you have had something with FindMy tracking stolen you may know what apartment block it's in, but not what unit.

There were anti-stalking features from the start. It didn’t stop the media hysteria however.
