Is this device essentially a 3P manufactured AirTag? Does it have any cons compared to the Apple AirTag?

As far as I know, all of the 3rd party works with "find my" devices only support general location tracking, not the directional precise tracking that can point you to your keys in your house.

Just a heads up to people interested in this: I bought this about a month ago and found the item with a dead battery. I replaced it and it worked great, just like an AirTag. I'm now getting a warning that the new battery I put in about a month ago is low. Just keep in mind that it may not last as long as a real AirTag if you want to put it somewhere you can just leave it and forget about for a while.

You can also get these things on aliexpress for under $4, and I expect they will work more or less just as well as this one.

Pro:

* functions very similar to airtag utilizing find my network.

Cons:

* No directional location.
* speaker may not be the best quality
* battery life may not be up to par.

My airpods have been lost for a week and the best iPhone Find My can tell me is that they are within 500 feet.

Cons of 3P trackers:
- No precision pointing, just general location
- Location updates might be less frequent
- Shorter battery life (if the chip is badly designed)
- No alerts for unauthorized tracking (iOS 17.5 older)

Basically I use it for different things:
Apple AirTag for precision pointing to my keys/wallet.
Eufy SmartTrack hidden in my car for general parking area. The location updates and battery lasts the same as Airtags. The speaker's electrical contacts can be disabled with tape so a car thief cannot find it by sound, also no tracking alert for the thief Smilie

Nice info. The idea of no alerts for tracking is great as my Airtag will beep every time I drive. Whether or not I have my iPhone with me I notice it beeps. And it beeps very quickly if I don't have my iPhone and only my Samsung. I wanted to use the air tag to track my vehicle in case it got stolen... again. I have a tile tracker in it as well and that surprisingly has been more reliable.

Apple Airtags can be muted by permanent destruction, pry open by plastic seams, risk breaking 3 plastic tabs, cut the speaker epoxy and 2 wires.
That's why for my car I went with 3rd party Eufy SmartTrack, the speaker electrical contacts are exposed when changing the battery, so disable it with insulating tape. No precision finding UWB chip, no beeping sound, no phone alerts = almost impossible for the car thief to find.

You answered my question without me having to ask. Thanks
