Comment on AirTag 2 not expected until 2025 as Apple sits on backlog of first-gen inventory

Wile true, AirTag has significantly more coverage because all iPhones, regardless of AirTag ownership, transmit AirTag data. Time, on the other hand, only works when people have the tile app installed and (ifaik) running in the background.

Apple opened up the find my network to third party trackers but I don’t think tile has decided to join it yet. Looks like this brand supports it though: chipolo.net/en-us/products/chipolo-card-spot

  Apparently, that specific device is also exclusive to the “Find My” network

Even then if you don’t use it enough android will remove its permissions unless you override in the android settings.

  Right. Although if you don’t use the iOS app enough and have the default settings, iOS will remove the app and you’ll have to reinstall it. Found that out the hard way with some games on an airplane with no WiFi 😅
