Apple has faced another lawsuit after two women in Detroit allege they were tracked by former partners using AirTag devices without notification. The suit, filed August 10 at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, accuses Apple of negligence in protecting users from stalking via AirTag.

The women, referred to as Jane MH Doe-1 and Jane WP Doe-2, claim their ex-partners used AirTag to monitor their movements. One woman reported being followed to a park despite hiding her vehicle, while another detailed tracking after moving to a new apartment. Both claim Apple failed to trigger alerts, despite features designed to notify users of unknown AirTag tracking. The lawsuit cites defective design, privacy invasion, and violations of Michigan law.

Apple's anti-stalking measures include notifications when an AirTag is moving with an unassociated person. However, the women argue these protections were inadequate. A 2022 class-action lawsuit over similar claims was dismissed in 2026, prompting new individual suits. Apple later updated AirTag firmware in April 2026 to improve sound alerts for easier location.

The case highlights ongoing debates about AirTag's dual-use potential. While designed for tracking items, its capabilities have led to repeated legal challenges. The lawsuit underscores gaps in safeguarding users, particularly Android device owners who lack built-in detection tools until 2024.
