According to a news report, a woman tracked her boyfriend’s AirTag and reportedly killed him for cheating on her with another woman. The woman, according to sources quoted in a report by USA Today, was living in the state of Indiana and she used the AirTag to track her boyfriend, who she suspected was cheating on her.

She later confessed in the police report that she used an AirTag to track her boyfriend who she found meeting another woman at a bar. Seeing him with another woman got her angry, and they both got into a heated conversation that became serious. The report claims both of them asked to leave the bar, and afterwards, she hit the guy with her car and ran over him back and then forward.

This isn’t the first major issue related to the AirTag that has come out in the open. This is why Apple was forced to introduce anti-tracking features via iOS for AirTags to stop them from being misused by iPhone users. And since clearly, those measures aren’t working out, as this new report suggests, Apple could be forced to rely on external forces to fix the matter, and even use legal enforcement agencies to bring regulations that can keep such incidents in check.

I guess the Apple tracker is more real-time, unlike Tile tags.
