Bluetooth trackers are not a new gadget. In fact, they have been around for more than a decade now, but have only recently become a product that people are generally aware of, thanks to Apple’s entry into the market with its AirTags. However, they are far from the only major player when it comes to Bluetooth trackers, with Tile being one of the most established and successful companies that make its own trackers.
Often tiny devices with long battery lives, Bluetooth trackers can stick or be attached to almost any imaginable object. Once you’ve done that and synced it with your smart device, you can locate said object from practically anywhere in the world. They are incredibly handy, especially for objects that people are likely to misplace such as keys, wallets, and bags. Most of them use Bluetooth for short-range location and utilize an entire network of connected devices for when the tracker is out of range of your own smart device.
AirTag and Tile are undoubtedly the two biggest names in the world of trackers, each offering its own set of benefits — and drawbacks. AirTags, for instance, only work within Apple’s own ecosystem, while Tile products are designed to work with a variety of operating systems and devices. Whichever one you choose, though, you’ll have better peace of mind knowing that you’ll be able to find anything that gets lost.
