Unfortunately, precision and long battery life are also what make them such acybersecurityconcern.
That is why Apple advertises them as tools for tracking lost items and not stolen ones.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Naturally, disabling the speaker removes the most obvious way victims can find out if theyre being tracked.
These devices had the built-in speaker physically disconnected so they are unable to make a sound.
The idea appears to have been making AirTags better for tracking stolen items.
In light of this, I have removed my listing from Etsy.
Im not affiliated with any other listings of silent AirTags.
Its an unfortunately easy modification, with no clear solution.
Dont get me wrong, as a perpetual loser-of-stuff, I appreciate the convenience afforded by Apples AirTags.
