Quick Glance: Apple Faces Lawsuit Over Stalkers Using AirTags
- Apple will have to face a lawsuit arguing that AirTags are used by stalkers to track their victims, after a judge rejected the tech giant’s effort to have the class-action complaint dismissed.

- The beginnings of 2024 have been tumultuous for Apple. Within a few days, the company halted its long-standing project to build an electric car, was removed from the Goldman Sachs list of top stocks, and faced a $2 billion fine in Europe for abusing its power against Spotify and other music streaming platforms.
