Uh thanks. I was curious about it, It didn't really surprise me to know apple stole the idea from someone (like any other big company). Thanks for your answer and time!
Not sure where the disconnect is. You weren't very clear with your question but yes I did take time to attempt to clear up what you seemed to be asking about.
And no, not every big company flat out steals ideas. Apple is notorious for doing this, but other companies are not. At least none I can think of.
Rereading our exchange multiple times even, I've no idea what you're saying or what this has to do with anything.
No. You aren't listening. Apple is known especially for stealing ideas. It's their whole business model, in fact. Steve Jobs bragged about it.
I don't really know if a tile is "good for privacy". It depends on a lot of things and you should research it yourself. Since my goal for the tile is to be able to find my devices, keys, bags, etc, I expect there to be personal info asked for and that's true. I highly doubt an airtag would be any better for privacy.
