yep, or crucially do these 'other' devices actually leverage off millions of OIS devices to precisely track wherabouts? I suspect that when you drill down there aren't that many easily available devices that work as well in a reliable manner for similar money.
agree, without the ios hookup, you are likely to need:
GPS,
cellular transmission of that data,
and the substantially larger battery required for the above
drastic increase of cost and size of the device
remember early seasons of Breaking Bad, hiding GPS trackers on cars featured quite a bit, but only ones that you had to retreive, and download the data at a later point, not real time tracking.
People with no technical knowledge whined that it was a clunkly plot device.
Who the hell can be arsed to keep turning BT on and off all the sodding time! What a waste of time. Nobody I know with a smartphone bothers to do that, I would never consider it because it would be a major inconvenience.
Unless you’re one of those sad people who believe that someone sitting at a cafe table with a laptop can scan your phone fifty feet away and steal all your secrets.
I have bluetooth and location turned off all the time unless I am using it. Both are off by default. Its no inconvenience at all and I rarely use either.
Dunno where the moral question is here? Surely anyone using apple products has already set their morals aside? 😉

Who would possibly be that paranoid….Oh!
I'm not that bothered. Its just easier to have it off. 😉
No secrets anyway - Id just rather not be tracked
