AirTags don’t require the U1 chip. It is required for precision finding.

No iPhone or Android device available actually prevents you being tracked.
No smartphone prevents someone wanting to track you from using a cheap GPS tracker, Tile or another old cellphone to trace your location.
Airtags aren't made for tracking people and are actually the only tracker that will alert anyone at all of their potentially unwanted presence.
