I'm kind of curious about that. If AirTags rely on nearby iPhones to capture tag IDs as they pass by and relay them to Apple, will a ramp worker with an iPhone in his pocket start seeing shorter battery life?

I suspect yes but almost imperceptibly.

It’s got to be less power than the phone uses to stay in contact with the towers.
