I never really thought about it, but the battery in these things doesn’t last forever. I needed to use my tile to find my keys maybe seven times a year, but it’s “on” and ready for service 24/7 so I guess it sucks up juice that way. So just know that you’ll need to replace it periodically (I got an alert on my phone that the tile was critically low on battery). Mine lasted about three years.
Also, the connector piece where you’d hook it to your keychain is slimmer on the new one. I hope the plastic doesn’t snap on my keychain. I’ll update if so.
As for getting rid of my old tile and updating it to the new one, it was super easy, even for me who was prepared for frustration. I opened the tile app and it asked if I wanted to replace my old tile. Then it said to hold the new tile to my phone. Then it worked.
Lastly, I price shopped (even though it’s a fair price), and while the tile website is less expensive because they often have promos, they do charge $5.99 shipping and it takes 5-7 days, so Amazon is a better deal if you have prime.
