Woman Discovers Apple Tracking Device on Her Car

I like to say that technology is neither good nor bad; that distinction is for people. AirTags, Apple’s tracking device, are an awesome solution for things you want to keep tabs on.

Your AirTag has been found moving with you.” Since she had no idea what an AirTag was, she “freaked out.” Wouldn’t you?
