Tracked down, then killed: AirTag's new dark reputation page

Apple likes to mention how the Apple Watch or iPhone saves the lives of its owners in critical situations. However

Cupertino residents will definitely not talk about historya murder in which the already notorious AirTag played a key role. An innocent gadget for those who often lose their keys and bags has become a tool for theft, surveillance, and now serious crime. The story unfolded in Indiana, USA, where a 26-year-old woman suspected her man of infidelity. After planting an AirTag on him, she tracked him down and found him at a bar with another girl.

A quarrel broke out, but the bartender demanded themleave the establishment. On the street, a woman got into a car and knocked her boyfriend to death, and then tried to do it with his girlfriend. Fortunately, the police quickly arrived on the scene, who later the criminal told about the technically sophisticated method of tracking with the AirTag tag. And even though AirTag is one step away from criminalization in the US, Apple is in no hurry to stop selling them.
