Comment Re:Apple should be worried... (Score 3, Informative) 104

Shortsighted "here"? Just wait until China doesn't actually pay those extra Trump tariffs on things made in China, like (some) Apple products ... 10% at the moment (down from 60%).

(Fact: Importers pay tariffs, not exporters, and they usually pass those expenses onto consumers.)

Yes, the theory being that by making the import more expensive, you'll be incentivized to purchase domestically produced equivalent instead. It may or may not be effective, but no one is claiming that the exporter pays the tariff.

Comment Re:Does Android track AirTags then? (Score 1) 29

Didn't see this mentioned in the summary, when support for this launches does this mean Android will also warn you if an AirTag is tracking you? Which would mean it helps with the recognition network being larger for both tracking devices.

Or has Android already supported detecting AirTags tracking?

On my S23, it's under settings > safety and emergency > unknown tracker alerts.

My guess is they are profiting from this somehow. Perhaps by having their own "resellers" who can get tickets in advance of even scalpers, then "resell" them at market price on the secondary market.

Well, yeah. Ticketmaster will sell you a ticket and collect their massive fee from that sale. Then they'll let your resell your ticket through Ticketmaster and they'll collect another fee. There's no way they want this to stop.
