    Honestly, I doubted this, and looked it up.

    Why do you think in only a few years AirTags have become so ubiquitous, while tile has had nearly a decade on them, and are so barely known?

      That’s pretty easy, because they’re marketed by apple and support is built into all ios devices.

      Whereas Tile is a third party company and had to hoist their network onto iphones.

      It’s a common pattern in big tech and part of why it’s near impossible for any independent company to get anywhere in the industry
