Well it would warn the person that they are being tracked when the airtag turns back on, so I feel like any other tracker would be better suited for stalking people, and most of the time it wouldn't even track.

I felt like adding that disclaimer was a nice thing to do, informing the customer and letting them make their own decision. It makes almost no difference to remove that disclaimer (well, it would increase sales). it is not to protect myself. The price is very low and margin is very thin, what happens if Apple bricks the device? There would be very little money left to refund the customers, and most of the refunds would be eaten by transaction fees. Is it worth it for the customers to receive a few cents back? And that's assuming I keep all the money in the company and don't pay myself.

Yes I think having 2 is a good strategy. I'm also considering offering different timings in the future.

I understand your point. In this case the price point makes this a bearable risk, especially to protect much more valuable items. A refund is only useful if only a certain % of people have issue or the company is big. Since this is my only product, an Airtag update that bricks the devices would just bankrupt the company and make me unable to refund most people as my margin is very low anyway.

hardcoded, but I'm thinking of offering different time intervals in the future

The Airtag is mostly off and when back on will alert the person.

Yes, unfortunately it would.

As it's 4 hours off / 1 hour on, the device is not very suitable for stalking someone. Also once the AirTag is back on and the person starts moving, they will be alerted that the AirTag is tracking them.

Good catch! Thank you I will correct it now.

Interesting idea... I think it would increase the price a bit too much

Due to its timing, the device is not suitable for stalking someone. Additionally, if you place it in someone's handbag, for instance, once the AirTag comes back online and the person starts moving, they will be alerted that the AirTag is tracking them.

Yes it's also a good strategy.

Yes, I'm thinking of offering various set-ups in the future, if I see that people are interested
