While some might well argue that Apple's AirTag is the best Bluetooth item tracker on the market, the little white and silver puck has had its detractors in recent years. Designed to help people keep tabs on their wallets, bags, car keys, and more, AirTags have also become an increasing privacy problem for people and now Apple finds itself on the receiving end of a lawsuit as a result.
The lawsuit alleging that Apple hasn't done enough to protect people and their property from the misuse of its AirTag item tracker has been rumbling on for a little while, but a US District Judge has now ruled that Apple's attempts to have it dismissed will not be successful and the company must instead defend itself. The lawsuit was filed by three dozen people, arguing that Apple could be legally liable under California law when its tracking devices are misused.
