Not a bad price, but it does require an existing Airtag. Ten years is a very long time in tech. I wouldn't be confident that the Airtag protocol will be functioning in 2035, and there are already rumors of a new Airtag and possibly a newer protocol coming up.
Who leaves 10K worth of anything in their car? I get antsy leaving my $200 laptop hidden under my seat! This person is crazy. There is also no guarantee they person who stole the bag wouldn't dump the bag(with the hidden AirTag) and just keep the gear or that the police would help recover it even if you gave them the location(many times the don't).
You are a terrible person.
> My camera bag with $10k of gear was stolen from my car. When I saw the broken glass and empty backseat, I immediately pulled up FindMy to track the thief ... Aha, but that's not what AirTags are for, according to Apple at least. On https://www.apple.com/airtag Not a single mention of "theft" or "stolen".

The advantage of "lithium" is high rate discharge, not longevity right?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Wait until they realize the almost 100% overlap between the camera's use cases of 1) spying on people and 2) recording nature
Nature cameras are relatively hard to conceal (from humans), whereas AirTags are very easy to conceal.
For about the same price you can get a device with a SIM card and GPS/GLONASS and _zero_ ways to detect it.
I know this is useful (for something), but I'm stuck on the plot holes in the motivating story... Why didn't they replace the battery when the app complained? How long would a thief really keep the AirTag anyway? If the thief did keep the AirTag and you tracked them down, then what? A confrontation has a fairly high chance to have a worse result than losing some equipment. You could try to get the police to do it, bu…
There exists a small percentage of men who will go absolutely savage on somebody for stealing from them, and the existence of those people is probably a bigger crime deterrent than the police. So I say, shine on you crazy air tag tracking vigilante diamonds.
