A real tag doesn’t need the battery - the power is induced by the electric field of the other device.
I don’t know how it’s implemented in the iPhone but assuming it’s a real tag - the other phone may need to be close enough for the electric field to be strong enough for the tag to be able to send “I’m ABCDE..” so that the other phone will send it’s own location as your device’s location.
It’s more a collective iPhone spying. You guys like the word “collective”, do you? Fucking commies. It’s @ll under the disguise of a real feature and against the thieves, but then they don’t capture thieves, so what’s the purpose then, … the more you know.
I assume it's a super low power mode. I have some zigbee temp sensors that can broadcast data for over a year on a single button battery.
On the bright side, ballot mules will be turning their phones off not knowing.....
It serves 3 purposes.
It will always track. Even when the other person said if the battery is completely dead, it won't track. Not true! 0% battery, "dead," powered off, still has some battery for this feature. To actually drain the battery to true 0 is very hard without really trying.
It makes it harder to repair. Therfore more likely for you to buy the new one. Planned obsolescence.
This is how they sell it, they can make the phone slightly stronger/slimmer and slightly more structurally stable without an easily removable battery.
Gotta let batteries die completely
They can, it's just not feasible
You can put it in the microwave to prevent signals getting in and signals coming out
Not all microwaves apparently, I put my phone in a microwave and experimented by sending texts and calling from another phone. All went through in real time with no delay. It could be that I just have a cheap microwave that blasts me with microwave radiation every time I use it or microwaves are not Faraday cages after all
Precisely my thought as well
