AirTag vs Tile: which of them takes less time to locate?

AirTag vs. Tile

The accessories for track products, elements or objects of our day to day are not new in 2021. However, the AirTag, Apple's locator accessory, if that is a novelty since it was launched just a few weeks ago and the results after use are quite good. Other products similar to AirTags are Tile brand trackers. A few days ago a test was done comparing the time it took to find a lost object with an AirTag and a Tile, thus checking the power of the different networks and the efficiency of the location. The results? The AirTags won by a landslide, but with some qualifications.

30 minutes to find the AirTag, almost 12 hours to find the Tile

The test was carried out on the web TechRadar in which an AirTag and a Tile Mate were left behind a fence at 9 a.m. on a Monday in a busy area. After returning home and activating the lost mode of both accessories, the test began. On just 30 minutes a notification was received on the iPhone detecting the location of the lost AirTag. Throughout the test, up to 13 accessory detection notifications were received.

However, the first alert from the Tile Mate arrived after 12 hours from the start of the test. That's why the quality of Apple's Search network is much more powerful and robust than Tile's. In fact, the network only has to improve since it is necessary to have iOS 14.5 to be able to locate the AirTags and the level of adoption of this version will go in growing In the next weeks.

But not everything is gold that glitters. If we analyze the detection of the specific location of the tracking accessories, the AirTag was located remotely on a street parallel to the one it actually was on. Compared to the Tile Mate which determined the location much more precisely. For Apple this is not inconvenient since the U1 chip with ultra-wideband technology It would alleviate the error meters once you begin to search near the accessory.
