• One Redditor tested Google’s Find My Device network against Apple’s Find My Network by shipping an AirTag and a Pebblebee tracker to a different state and tracking the package through the respective apps.
  • The Pebblebee Tracker struggled to provide location updates, while Apple’s AirTag consistently updated throughout the journey.
  • Google’s Find My Device network is still nascent and opt-in, limiting its effectiveness compared to Apple’s Find My Network. Google is reportedly working on improving its network’s speed and reliability.

    Worst possible experience, not hardly. He mailed the thing and tried to track it, and it didn’t work. When I saw “worst possible experience” I expected a swat raid or something. This is 2024, and if all that goes wrong with a new tech gadget is that it doesn’t work, that’s literally a nothingburger. At least give us some battery explosions or something.

      Exactly. Worst case for me is a stalker of some sort tracking me through my phone and sexually assaulting me in a parking garage or something when I’m alone.
