Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Apple AirTags – ‘A perfect tool for stalking’
Apple AirTag is a three-centimeter disc that tracks the location of the device. The $29 tracking device was designed to be attached to an item that the user wants to find the location of in case it is lost, such as luggage or keys. Once lost, it will notify your iPhone where the item is within a meter range if there is some other iPhone or Apple device is around as it relies on Bluetooth signals. It is convenient to find your item, pet, or even kid that could go anywhere. However, it could also be abused by someone who wants to know where you are like a stalker. Apple says they created various safeguard measures to protect people from being tracked. For example, it alerts the owner by beeping noise if it is separated for some time. But that sound cannot always be heard if the device is wrapped or attached to an inaudible spot like a car bumper. It seems that convenience often comes with a risk.
Enjoy reading the article about Apple’s AirTag.
