The Verge did a great comparison of smart trackers from Apple, Samsung and Tile. Tile is really in a bind here. Its products are not substantially better than the others, to the extent that can justify the inferior network of trackers that Apple and Samsung can boast. Unfortunately, that’s the one thing that makes these trackers valuable in the first place
Facebook Users Said No to Tracking. Now Advertisers are Panicking. There seems to be a genuine angst from developers and advertisers over Apps Transparency Tracking (ATT). The thing is that when it comes to tracking, the interests of developers and consumers aren’t necessarily aligned. In that case, Apple has to pick a side and it decided to side with consumers; which is an understandable decision for two reasons: 1/ it’s what Apple has always been about and 2/ Consumers are ultimately their source of income and profit. Sure enough, it’s in Apple’s interest to have a great relationship with developers. But when it comes to the list of top reasons why Apple exists, I don’t think assisting all developers for free is anywhere near the top. The whole situation seems like when oil companies complain about governments’ policies that curb oil extraction in order to protect everyone else.
