Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Would it use Apple devices that aren't officially signed up to 'tags' too? It's an interesting and maybe worrying concept!

Most iPhone users are signed up to "Find My iPhone" which I think (haven't read the small print) opts you in to helping track other people's Apple devices.

The problem with using them on bikes to track a potential thief is that the tag will start making a sound and report itself to the thieves phone

Apple haven't made it clear how long after it's stolen it will start doing that. Could be minutes, could be days.
