A woman from Oregon is suing Apple, alleging that the company's AirTag devices were used by her ex-boyfriend to stalk her. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon in Medford and claims that Apple failed to protect users from the misuse of its products. The woman, identified as Jane Doe in court records, says an AirTag was hidden under her car and used to track her movements without her knowledge. She claims she did not receive any alerts from her iPhone, even though Apple's system is designed to notify users when an AirTag is detected near them. According to the lawsuit, her ex-boyfriend subjected her to verbal and written threats, destroyed her property, and caused her severe emotional distress. Medford police later charged her ex-boyfriend with stalking using a GPS device. Jane Doe is seeking a court order to block Apple from selling AirTags without improved anti-stalking safeguards and is also seeking $75,000 in compensatory damages. This case is among more than 30 similar lawsuits filed against Apple over its AirTag devices. In March, a federal judge in California declined to certify a class-action lawsuit against Apple's AirTags. According to the lawsuit, Apple has received more than 40,000 stalking reports from 2021, when the AirTag was released, through 2024. Shortly after the device's release, police departments across the U.S. issued public warnings that AirTags could be used for stalking. Apple released a statement on its website apologizing for the misuse of the product but did not recall the devices. The lawsuit argues that the low cost and wide availability of AirTags have made stalking accessible to virtually anyone with $29 and an iPhone. The case highlights concerns about the balance between innovative technology and the need for robust safeguards to prevent abuse. As the legal battles continue, the outcome may influence how tech companies design and market products that have the potential for both helpful and harmful uses.
