Jane Doe, an Oregon woman, is suing Apple for $75,000, alleging her former partner hid an AirTag under her car and her iPhone never alerted her that an unknown AirTag was traveling with her. No court has ruled on Apple's liability.
Local reporting on the complaint says the former partner allegedly made verbal and written threats and damaged property; he was reportedly charged with stalking using a GPS device, and a restraining order was issued against him. The suit also alleges Apple records referenced more than 40,000 stalking-related AirTag reports from April 2021 to April 2024, a figure not independently established.
The Oregon suit is among individual cases filed after a proposed 2022 class action was denied class certification in March 2026; that ruling did not determine Apple's liability. Apple has argued in related litigation that it condemns malicious tracking, has built anti-stalking safeguards into AirTags and should not be liable for third parties' deliberate crimes. No court has determined Apple's liability in these cases.
