Don't get me wrong, I love him as Spidey but I also don't think he should have been the lead in Uncharted over Nathan Fillion.

What a stupid design.

Why? They have numerous legitimate uses and have the failsafe built in to alert users if an unknown tag stays in their vicinity.

Unlike other tracking devices that give no warning (including the Samsung smart tag iirc).

Only if the user has an apple phone.

How long does the battery last? I was think of cancelling my car tracker and put one of those in the car.

According to Apple "more than a year".
Ah, think this is the crucial part. Will it warn you on the Watch as I don't carry the iPhone with me?

"And your iPhone lets you know when itʼs time to pop in a new one."

If it was an issue for a user then they could. It's not really designed for a nanny state let me look after you society, I suppose.

I see it has 100,000+ installs so far.
Which is practically nothing. I'm personally not concerned by being tracked, but I can see the danger to this tech.
