The greatest success of AirTags is its silent refutation of the clamoring concern trolling.

It's been, what, six years now? The media would pay hand over fist for an airtags stalking story and how many have there actually been?

I mean, i remember a lot of posts about people using them for stalking. It's unclear if this has been addressed or if the concern has been deprioritized, or if apple solved the problem somehow.

I mean it was enough of a concern that Android added a "detect airtags" feature to the base android OS.

Both Apple and Android have had anti-stalking features for years.
