Apple is facing a new lawsuit over its AirTag tracking devices.The trackers were launched earlier this year as a way for people to locate things like bags and keys. ButThis latest case, filed in a federal court in San Francisco, argues Apple isn’t doing enough to stop AirTags being used in this way. One of the women said an AirTag was used by her ex-husband who secretly hid it in their child’s backpack as a way to follow her.
