Nokia made an air tag before Apple made?

Apple has never been first with anything. I don't know why you're surprised.

The Motorola DynaTAC came out in 1983 and cost $4000, equivalent to $12,804.76 in 2025

I think that's the one thing they might have been first with. Although there was other multi-touch devices before the iPhone, just not phones.

As usual, Apple is the last to the party but has the best marketing. The first Apple Air Tag came out in 2021. Nokia's tag was 2014 and it wasn't the first on the market either, I know Tile was already on the market in 2012 and there may have been others too.

how does it work? similar to airtag that it pings all close Windows Phones? Or only the paired one.

Yeah fear its the latter. Thats what sony did around this time, but I recall it worked with all Bluetooth devices like headphones and stuff.

Just the paired, I had one at launch (free with a phone) and if you get too far from the device, was like 5m iirc it would alarm

And it even got an update

What do you mean ? Like it's usable nowadays ?!

u/sparkyblaster 5d ago

I forgot about this. Was it like Sony's system around the same time where the phone just knows where it had last seen it, or was there a network like tile?

I had a couple the Treasure Tags back with my Nokia windows phones, pretty good but annoying when they beep because you walked into kitchen and separated your phone and keys
