In a statement to Insider, Tile said it welcomes fair competition. But given Apple s well documented history of using its platform advantage to unfairly limit competition for its products, we re skeptical. And given our prior history with Apple, we think it is entirely appropriate for Congress to take a closer look at Apple s business practices specific to its entry into this category.
Tile s general counsel Kristen Daru will testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee in an antitrust hearing focusing on Apple and Google s App Store on Wednesday.
This isn t the first complaint Tile has made against Apple for alleged anti-competitive behavior. In a 2020 Congressional hearing, Daru testified about Apple s iOS 13 system, which introduced a Find My app and changed permissions for users to access Tile devices. The testimony also mentioned rumors of a Tile-like product in the works at Apple.
