A 10-Year Battery for AirTag

> My camera bag with $10k of gear was stolen from my car. When I saw the broken glass and empty backseat, I immediately pulled up FindMy to track the thief ...

Aha, but that's not what AirTags are for, according to Apple at least.

On https://www.apple.com/airtag Not a single mention of "theft" or "stolen".

It will even politely inform the thief you have a tracker in your stuff:

> AirTag is designed to discourage unwanted tracking. If someone else’s AirTag finds its way into your stuff, the network will notice it’s traveling with you and send your iPhone an alert

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple will come down on them with their legal team for promoting usage of the AirTag that's not according to their intended use.

Just as a thought experiment, what do you think would happen if Apple specifically advertised them as theft prevention tools?

Presumably people would start complaining that they're really bad at that, since they loudly make themselves known to any thief.

I don't know, I am not Apple, and I don't even have AirTags. What do you think would happen, it seems you already have an idea?
