      For iPhone 11 or above, due to the presence of the U1 Chip, it can help find AirTags BETTER with Precision Finding (which you can follow the arrows and find your tag precisely). Other iphone works but you can only see the approximate location on the map and play a sound to locate it. Hope this helps :)

For instance, I go up to the mountains a lot and with howling winds or other noises I need a loud device with a the best range assuming my phone is the only device that can reach the tracker. If my tracker is in the car or a cabin 600 feet away or under a bush, which will I find and hear more clearly?

      Probably the only country in the world where iPhone ownership at 57%, is larger than Samsung or Android phone ownership is the US. The global average of Android devices is currently at around 70% so I would have been more surprised that a test conducted in the UK showed Ithe Air Tag to be better. It does depend on the user base of both devices as to how many times it gets pinged.
      I have owned phones from both camps and while I prefer my Samsung phones I have to say the best phone I have ever had for pulling in a weak signal was my original Iphone, It worked in places no Nokia or Motorolla or Blackberry (yes I am that old) would even show a single par of signal.

      The airtag is affected mostly by the number of apple devices in the area so it will work better in areas where apple has a higher market share. In the US apple and samsung are almost half and half smartphone market share. Also the devices have to be on ios 14.5 so in a few weeks as more people update their iphones it should be easier to find.

    @bradirvin919 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Ok, I have to point out something. The best tag is the one that works best for what you intend to use it for. Consider that most people will be using these to locate their phone, keys, or wallet / bag. These are items that are typically going to be "lost" in persons home, vehicle, or workplace. In cases where you already know the general vicinity, the form factor and volume will be the most important aspects of the tracker. In this scenario the Tile would probably win. The credit card tile is extremely thin, and the pro is very loud and also very thin. So the ability to call a phone from your keys or wallet, or vice versa is going to be a lot more useful for a lot of people.

    I bought a 4-pack of AirTags, but I won’t get them until sometime in June. I did do the engraving, which takes some additional time, I think. I will track my keys and luggage when I travel. I like your comparisons and I already own Tike trackers. One time I left my key on top of my car and drove away and lost the key. To find it with the tile tracker I had to retrace my steps and have my own phone detect the tile basically. I like the larger network of Apple and Samsung. I am an Apple phone owner so I pretty much just went with Apple for that reason.

      Tile is only good if you lose something in your house. Even then, it doesn't have location finding like Apple and Samsung have. If you lose something at an airport or something like that, unless someone walks by with the tile app and it's also running in the background, it won't ping the network.
      * If you have an iPhone, get the airtag

    I'm a big fan of Tile. I've been using them for years and many of their form factors. They certainly aren't perfect but they usually get the job done. The tracking tests makes sense though. While Tile has a sizeable network, it obviously doesn't compare to the amount of Samsung and iPhone out there. A few things that were missed regarding Tiles subscription thigh was that they do give you battery replacements, lost item reimbursement, replacements if damaged or defects, and let's you share so items can be tracked by others; So it does provide some value. This was a great review.

      @@domantisbinkis4738 Because if you’ve seen graphs on how ios users update their phones thru an apple announcement, a lot update their phones relatively quickly due to the fact that red notification is in the settings and won’t go away until updated

    I started purchasing Tile when they first came out. They were one of the only options. I live in a rural area with around 1 bar signal. I have a Tile slime which is fairly new. And it's sitting in my wallet 2 feet away and it cant find it. It can find my other tiles nearby. The sound isn't too loud when inside a jacket or backpack. It's super faint.
    The app is suspicious. It does make you pay to have simple functionality.
    I'm going with Samsung since I'm android. Thanks for the video. ✌
