Not to mention that the QTags are now starting to show severe plastic deteriorationYes, they do work.

Yes, ditch those QF coasters on bags, not the Apple tag.

There is an Android app Tracker Detect, but it's more about detecting an Airtag that may have been placed on you without your knowledge.The research that I did before our trip leads me to believe that the AirTags really are the best solution. Because they use Bluetooth and Find my iPhone, rather than relying on people having an app installed.
I don’t think the Tile is particularly useful, sounds like the Samsung tags may be similar, needs the app.
Anyway, Tile didn’t work for us….We have Samsung phones and iPads.
I've actually got the Chipolo Card Spot for Apple in my wallet. Works well. I'm yet to get my air tags, but looks like wednesday. Not sure if it would be a good idea to trigger the alarm on the card if my wallet got stolen or not.......I"ve gone with the Chipolo One for my bags
Question, obviously, will the Apple device show up on the Mac, especially in the airport on arrival?
Yes the most widely used one is called Tile (it works on Android and Apple), Apple actually copied the design for air tags. Ive been using Tiles on this current trip, i knew exactly where my bags were when BA didnt.Is there an Android version of these tags?
Yes i wouldn't recommend Tile anymore for Apple though. For Android, Tile is for now the best option (samsung has options). Apples design has a feature that makes it more accurate than tile and quicker to locate. So Apple copied the idea and refined the design which is what they tend to do well.Yes the most widely used one is called Tile (it works on Android and Apple), Apple actually copied the design for air tags.
and greater range depending on model
That made me laugh, usability alone has Android way in front, so flexible.refined the design which is what they tend to do well.

Probably no need to slam iPhone users in a thread about apple airtags. Ok. You've amended your post now. Wise move.That made me laugh, usability alone has Android way in front, so flexible.
Anyway, the person i was replying to wisely does not have an iphone, hence Tile recommendation given much fewer Samsung and Chipolo users (i was given a free Samsung tracker through work, but my own testing shows Tile works better and i have a Samsung phone).
Tile works over double the distance of air tags, everytime ive looked for my bags there have 2k plus active tile users in the area (no one is trusting airlines these days). I was able to tell when bags were and werent on the plane (even A380 from upper deck), track the courier as he drove my bags all over Edinburgh.
Obviously if you have an one then airtags will work best because apple always given preferential treatment to their own eco system, but for Android Tile has the best range of tags and largest user base.
Really no need for that response to be honest. I'm not interested in juvenile iPhone vs Android nonsense.That made me laugh, usability alone has Android way in front, so flexible.

We know who’s going to have the last word, don’t we?sigh….
Feel free to find the bit where I bashed Tile. I think you hastily read something I wrote and went straight onto the front foot. My comment was about not recommending tile for apple anymore, because before Airtags, many apple users bought Tiles. I feel its a fair comment.LOL you threw the first stone Tile bashing unecessarily when the response was to a non iphone user, and absolutely no one recommends airtags for non apple uses.
A blocking app would be to block Bluetooth. I guess guess if someone want to do that they would’ve done it by now; perhaps they have.How many air tags will be in use before they overwhelm their host systems ?
leads to: pullback by owners at consumption of resources by extraneous hitchhikers and development of blocking apps
