    Not sure where the disconnect is. You weren’t very clear with your question but yes I did take time to attempt to clear up what you seemed to be asking about.

    And no, not every big company flat out steals ideas. Apple is notorious for doing this, but other companies are not. At least none I can think of.

      Maybe I’m wrong but I remember the old days of jailbreaking an iPhone (4s my last iPhone) and I know some tweaks are now in implemented on iOS their own way soo you’re correct (does this count??)

      And no, not every big company flat out steals ideas

      Apple and google? They kinda copy each other right?

      Regarding OP’s question: Are these tags good if I care about privacy? I’ve always wanted to buy one for my keys and one for my wallet but I didn’t know what to buy. I have a Samsung phone and wanted to buy their tags but never did

        Apple is (rightfully IMO) far more notorious for taking something that’s been around for years already, adding it to their product line (or as a feature in a product), and then pretending they invented it. Almost every company will copy features/products from other companies, but they don’t usually pretend to have invented the whole thing.

        Example: Gmail. It was revolutionary, but not because Google really invented much (or indeed claimed to). Rather, it was revolutionary because it provided features that already existed in paid options (e.g. full IMAP support, large mailbox sizes) for free, with a good web interface.
