AirTags are a hardware function of the iPhone feature FindMy.  It is
because of FindMy that AirTags have become the standard among trackers.
As the document I provided shows, Apple's (iPhone) FindMy network is
far more robust than the Android Find My Device network for now.
Undoubtedly Google will get it sorted out at some time.

This is sort of a double-edged advantage though.  Trackers are
considered anathema to those who value privacy.  For iPhones to have an
advantage in something which devalues privacy is somewhat ironic.
