Oh no, someone has hacked Apple's website and is playing a prank on them.

#62I have been using Tile for more than 2 years and I think its time to switch and try out AirTag. I had some issues with Tile but has worked OK so far. Looking at the pictures it does look about the same size, maybe a bit smaller. I do like lot of app features. And as a Iphone user it will be good integration. Also, user replaceable battery is huge plus. Looking forward to checking it out.

#64If I was evil and stuck these to ex-girlfriend/boyfriend car or something, illegal? Edit: Downvoters. I am not doing this obviously. Am asking as this is the clear abuse I see. Tracking people without permission. I see this as being a weird legal thing we hear about down the road.
You're being down voted because this is described on the page. If a tag not linked to your phone travels with you frequently while being away from its owner you'll get a notification.
What if the person you're tracking doesn't have an apple device?

What if you don't have an iPhone?
That’s in the article too. It will start beeping when moved if it’s following someone that’s not the owner for a while.
So if a thief steals my jacket with an AirTag inside, some time later it’ll start beeping? At which point he’ll discard the AirTag and I won’t be able to track down my jacket. Kinda lame.

From the link: "iOS devices can also detect an AirTag that isn’t with its owner, and notify the user if an unknown AirTag is seen to be traveling with them from place to place over time."
It may not be foolproof (ie. if the person in question doesn't use iOS) but at least this shows Apple has considered the potential for abuse.
Apple covered the “person being tracked doesn’t use iOS case” - read the article.

Put it in the seams of the bag... and then you can rob the house -or worse- after figuring out their schedule... and it's only $30!
except that of course your iphone will notify you if it sees an airtag that's not yours frequently.
If you have an iPhone yes. Will it let the Android users know?

#69In a week you’ll see wrist bands or underwear with a slot to insert these and paranoid parents will buy them by the thousands. Ditto for jealous spouses (secret tracer in the trunk anyone?).
No they won’t - read the article. Numerous protections against it being used as a “secret tracer”
