However, I also note that AirTags are NOT an iPhone feature; so we're
still waiting for even a single iPhone feature that leapfrogged that
of Android.

 
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.

 
Hi badgolferman,
 
The discussion below contains technical and factual and logically sensible
nuance that an adult should be able to easily comprehend.
 
I will never disagree with a logically sensible statement, where I grant
you that Apple's marketing "leapfrogged" Tile's tags by a million miles.
 
Let's accept that as a fact so we don't need to belabor the obvious.
 
Now you assert that the AirTags are an iPhone technology, much as you would
then have to assert that Tiles are an Android technology - which is false.
 
However... even those Tiles aren't Android tech any more than AirTags are
iPhone tech, it doesn't matter to my fundamental observation that Apple is
five to ten years behind Android technology (due to lack of R&D spending).
 
Since you're an intelligent adult, you must understand my point that if
AirTags are Apple iPhone technology then Tiles are Android phone technology
- but now comes the nuance that adults are supposed to be able to
comprehend.
 
Let's say you're right:
a. Let's say that AirTags are Apple iPhone technology
b. And let's say that Tiles are Android phone technology
 
Even if we stretch the "facts" to that (absurd by the way) level,
that still means that out of every Apple poster on this newsgroup,
you are the only one who found even a *single* iPhone technology that Apple
leapfrogged Android phones on.
 
One item in ten years?
 
If we grant you Tiles/Airtags as Android/iPhone technology (which is
absurd, but I'm willing to grant it as it makes no difference to the main
point...)...
 
Even if we accept AirTags a priori, that means in the past ten years, Apple
has "leapfrogged" Android in only a single technology (instead of zero).
 
Do you understand that this still makes my point for me?
 
Unless people can find more than one technology that Apple has leapfrogged
Android technology in they past ten years, then my statement will be true:
 
 *Due to lack of R&D spending, iPhones are 5 to 10 years behind Android*
 

Notwithstanding the actual hardware, my point was the FindMy network and
technology behind its use is what Apple has done better than Android. Since
I really don’t know much else about Android that was the one thing I
thought of when you issued your challenge.
