“But my phone already has find my.”
it does. and it’s great — in a city, with signal, with battery. a festival takes all three away. here’s the honest picture.
| aura vibe | airtag | find my (apple) | find my device (google) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| works with zero signal | needs iphones + network around | needs internet | needs internet | |
| works without a phone | ||||
| made for finding people (not things) | your crew | made for things | ~a dot on a map | ~a dot on a map |
| guides you — direction + exact meters | down to 10 cm | ~only your own airtag, up close | ||
| works in a 100k crowd | network congestion | crowd kills the signal | same story | |
| keeps working when phones die | 24-h battery | |||
| group of friends, not devices list | crews up to 5 | a list of things | ~people tab — needs internet | devices only |
airtag
brilliant for keys and luggage. but it's made for finding things, not people — it needs other iphones nearby and a network connection to report where it is. and it can't guide your friend back to you.
find my
perfect when everyone has an iphone, full bars and battery to spare. a festival crowd kills the signal first, your battery second. and a dot on a map is not the same as a ring pointing you through 100,000 people.
find my device
google's version, same story — it needs internet to show anything at all. no data, no dot.
where we’re honest
if your crew never leaves the city and everyone’s phone survives the day, your phone might be all you need. festivals aren’t that place. that’s exactly why aura exists.
Your phone does a thousand things. Aura does the one thing it can’t.
finding your people when everything else is down.
