2 women sue Apple, alleging stalkers used AirTags to track them

Two women are suing Apple over their exes' use of AirTags to secretly track their movements and whereabouts in real-time. 

The quarter-sized bluetooth devices, which the technology company rolled out in April of 2021, are marketed as tools that can be used to trace the location of owners' personal objects. But since their commercial launch, people have complained the $29 tags are easy to misuse and enable stalkers to keep tabs on their victims. 

The two women, identified as Lauren Hughes and "Jane Doe," accuse Apple of negligently releasing a dangerous device, minimizing concerns about threats surrounding AirTags and misrepresenting the safety of the product by calling them "Stalker-Proof."
