Maybe I'm wrong but I remember the old days of jailbreaking an iPhone (4s my last iPhone) and I know some tweaks are now in implemented on iOS their own way soo you're correct (does this count??)

Rereading our exchange multiple times even, I've no idea what you're saying or what this has to do with anything.

Apple and google? They kinda copy each other right?

No. You aren't listening. Apple is known especially for stealing ideas. It's their whole business model, in fact. Steve Jobs bragged about it.

I don't really know if a tile is "good for privacy". It depends on a lot of things and you should research it yourself. Since my goal for the tile is to be able to find my devices, keys, bags, etc, I expect there to be personal info asked for and that's true. I highly doubt an airtag would be any better for privacy.
