Knowing you could turn on recall to spy in this way implies an individual with the technical know how to grab a freeware keylogger anyways.

Similarly with airtags, you have been able to buy cheaper cellular based GPS trackers for years prior to airtags existing.

In the airtag case, those GPS tags also do not alert the individual that there is a beacon following their person, and as such most likely go unnoticed and under reported.

There is a massive difference between switching on your new laptop and having a flaming big "look how cool recall is, do you want to switch it on? No? Are you sure" versus finding recall.ai or openrecall.

It is much the same with airtag.

Strange that you were able to discover this. Has anyone asked you for your research? Does knowing how to grab a freeware keylogger imply that you know how to code up a keylogger for yourself, or did your study not go that far?
