MacRumors
Apple faces over 30 lawsuits alleging AirTags were used for stalking after a previous class action was denied.Summary
Apple is facing over 30 lawsuits from individuals who claim to have been stalked using AirTags, following the denial of class certification for a 2022 lawsuit. The plaintiffs allege that Apple released the device while aware it could be used to track, coerce, and endanger victims, despite internal documents showing the company knew safeguards would only deter rather than prevent malicious use. The lawsuits claim AirTags revolutionized location-based stalking and cite the company's delayed notifications and the ability to silence the device's speaker as inadequate protections. Plaintiffs are seeking damages and an injunction against Apple's business practices.
