Apple AirTag Safety Concerns
Recent research shows that the AirTag’s built‑in speaker can be disabled with a simple spudger, silencing the alert that warns a person they are being tracked. The tag continues to report its location, shifting the detection burden entirely onto the victim.
Potential Software Countermeasures
Manufacturers could add firmware that monitors speaker current draw when an alert is triggered. If the circuit is dead, the device could flag a mismatch and alert the owner via the Find My network.
