It isn’t new technology. RF locator tags have been around for decades. Apple’s tags incorporate smaller size, longer battery life, ease and convenience of use, lower price, better availability, and savvier marketing. It will be interesting to see how the court cases shake out.
There is always a worm in a bad APPLE!
I have heard stories of thieves using them to track classic cars after car shows and then casing out the cars that are put in off-site storage and eventually stealing them.
I hate Big Tech. The convenience they provide is NOT worth evil they facilitate.
Get rid of your Apple phone, dumb ass!
AirTags is just a tool, not good or bad in itself, to be used or abused.
Same as with guns. Think of all the upset, lawsuits, and proposed gun control laws whenever a gun is used in a mass shooting.
It’s not the tool, it’s the user.
I hope Apple wins this one against the LibTards.
I’m sure the FBI uses them to track conservatives and parents who complane at school board meetings with or without a warrent.
