Hi badgolferman,

I'm happy you responded with something that Apple designed around the
smartphone that may have "leapfrogged" the competition, where I'm acutely
aware of the bias that people have due to Apple's brilliant advertising.

Keeping in mind always that Apple doesn't really have any R&D to speak of,
I'd be surprised if Apple "developed" anything that others don't have, but
if AirTags are it, then I'm happy to find out if that's the case in fact.

I'm only looking for answers - as I form my belief systems based on facts -
not religion (and certainly not on mere advertising - brilliant or not).

While I don't care for AirTags, and hence, I'm ignorant of them, let me
look up the genesis of these AirTags to find out who leapfrogged whom...

Since I'm a reasonably well educated adult of at least normal intelligence,
I looked it up to make my own reasonably informed assessment of the facts.
 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirTag>

a. April 2019 under development
b. Asahi_Kasei UWB parts
c. Announced April 20, 2021

OK. Now we've established a timeline, let's look for the competition.
 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UWB-enabled_mobile_devices>

 Samsung Galaxy SmartTag Released April 2021
 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_SmartTag>

Although Google, apparently, was late to the game for it's offering:
 <https://9to5google.com/2024/04/08/android-airtag-trackers-release-date/>

In summary, it seems to me, based on those facts above, that Apple and
Samsung introduced the same type of device at about the same time frame.

Who is leapfrogging whom?
