At least the data that is currently available free is staying free (for now?) I have been an Apple Watch user for years now, but prior to that I was a Garmin user. I never used their platform as a primary platform back then.

Garmin watches nowadays are really expensive, it’ll be interesting to see how they convince people that already spent a grand on a watch to cough up $7/mo for AI features.

#AirTag sends #Bluetooth messages to nearby Apple devices, which then anonymously relay its #location via Apple #Cloud to the owner for tracking. Their attack method can turn a device—whether it's a #desktop, #smartphone, or #IoT device—into an "AirTag" without Apple's permission, at which point the network begins tracking.
