Air tagging your car
Quote:
iOS can tell when you get out of a car just from accelerometer data. It’s kinda insane. It was in one of the betas at some point but now you need Bluetooth handsfree or CarPlay. Then again everything has Bluetooth now |

Thank you all for the information. For $25 I am going to try it. I've read about how it uses IOS devices with Bluetooth on to report back but have yet to find specifically how close they have to be. @Tcoat has a great point about the immobilizer and not leaving the keys in it; having a car stolen from a dealership that was later found double parked with the keys in it does not seem as far-fetched to me.

There are of course ways that the pros can defeat the immobilizer but they are not taking risks to steal $25,000 cars.

Hadn't heard of this since I don't iOS, but was looking at it. I found it ironic that Apple brags how they designed the battery to be easily replaceable, yet can't seem to manage to do that in their phones (not that many do anymore).
Please excuse the interruption, now returing you to your regularly scheduled discussion...

Little different for lithium batteries. Maybe they could've invented a special battery to allow swapping in phones, but they could've done the same for the airtag instead of making it a CR2042 or whatever it is.

IOS also knows when you are asleep and when you are awake... and tracks your search history to find out if you've been good or bad and moonlights as Santa's helper.

Plenty of phones and the devices have/had user replaceable lithium ion batteries. Honestly, it's a moot point as very few phones any longer, unless its a burner phone, have replaceable batteries, just a pet peeve of mine.
