Q7 Does this tracker support Apple's Precision Finding like AirTag?
A7 This tracker does not support precise positioning because Apple does not provide access to UWB technology. It can track the item and play sounds in the Find My app, but it does not support directional guidance or arrow tracking.

These cheap third-party trackers do use the "Find My" network, but they all lack the UWB chipset that allows precision finding. This is one of the best features of the AirTag, especially for small commonly misplaced items. These trackers along with the Insignia trackers will tell you the location based off the "Find My" network and and will tell you if the tracker is within range of your device. It will also allow you to send a signal to have the tracker make sound. The precision finding of an AirTag, on the other hand, will allow your phone to give you distance and direction to exactly where the device is, not just whether it is within Bluetooth range.
So when you have this UGREEN tracker on your keys that are misplaced, it will tell you that they are in your house and you can walk around triggering the sound hoping that you hear it and it's not muffled by being inside of a jacket pocket or between the couch cushions. An AirTag, on the other hand, will give you the direction and distance to the item and lead you directly to where your misplaced keys have fallen.
For larger items, the third-party trackers are fine. But the precision finding of small items is where the AirTag really shines and these devices simply don't do that.
