But still not as trivial as an Airtag. You need an iPhone and an Airtag. That’s it. No extra service. No waiting non-Prime or non-Apple shipping for a tracker to arrive.

The first results in Google for me are $50 and are about 10-20x the size as an Airtag. Also multiple parts.

And, the units off Amazon have to be purchased with a credit card + shipped to your house. AirTags can be bought with cash much more anonymously. (Though I’m not sure how/if Apple can identify the associated iPhone if presented with a warrant.)

Walk into a hobby shop, buy a GPS tracker for a RC/drone, pay cash…
