Which is great except not everyone has/wants an Apple phone, and everyone else is apparantly free game.

I mean that the AirTags on cars were only noticed because of this feature, and similar tracking with Tile, etc haven't been noticed before

Don't other similar trackers only work if you're within a few hundred feet?

I assumed they actually had range because otherwise they're not hugely useful? I recall that people were saying AirTags were just Tile, so maybe they are more functional? This is a real (not intended to be sarcastic or anything) Q as I haven't used Tiles at all.
