Article for context:https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/12/23870522/iphone-15-pro-max-thread-smartphones (Ik that I am talking about multiple companies when I refer to android companies but many singular companies make more innovations in the phone space compared to apple)

Really? Because the only ones I've seen have been based on the "Tile" system.
At last check: Requires everyone to have the system on the phone and turned on (Opt in vs opt out), and don't have user replaceable batteries (manufactured ewaste).
And your implied claim that Android is an open system and lets any developers in while Apple do not is also false, for example: https://www.momax.net/en-us/products/br5

They aren't out yet (so there's no word on if they're good or not), but pebblebee is making trackers that are rechargeable.
Not quite "user replaceable batteries", but in my opinion it's a better execution better than a purely disposable device -- so long as the battery life isn't garbage.
