Just had a random thought, can someone make an AirTag expansion card holder?

Doesn’t need any programming, thinking it could just hold the AirTag and slot in one of the expansion card bays.

What do you think?

    let’s assume you are using Windows, you can always use ‘Find my device’

    The last time I tried it, it was off by 4 houses, so it is definitely worse than Apple’s Find My system.

    But it could give an idea of whether you left your device in one building or a different one if those buildings are large enough.

      I have no Apple Tag experience but I do have Samsung Smart Tag experience. The latter functions similarly to how you describe Windows’ feature even with the more expensive version.

      Neither are that perfect it seems. How does the Apple Tag work?

        From what I’ve read, AirTags don’t use GPS, all they do is connect to other Apple devices via Bluetooth, and those devices send their location (which is fairly accurate) and the AirTag’s ID (which is encrypted) to Apple servers.

        This means AirTags are useless if there are no Apple devices around.
