I frequently call my Apple devices lifesavers. I would miss 99 percent of my appointments without the help of my iPhone alarms, but it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say I would die without my HomePod. There was no hyperbole needed for many of you who wrote in with stories of when your Apple devices saved the day! Once again, you came through with some amazing tales of your iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirTags coming to your rescue. I will reproduce several of them here, edited for space and clarity.
Like any good dramatist, I know the value of rising action, so let's warm up with some lower-stakes stories before we get into life and death. After all, your Apple devices saving the day isn't just something that happens in crises. It can be an everyday occurrence, like this story from Bob illustrates:
"My wife and I put AirTags in our cars, luggage, wallet, purse, and keys. My wallet fell out of my back pocket at a theater once, and I didn't realize it until I got home. I used Find My and it located my wallet at the theater. Whew! That would have been a disaster." -Bob Z.
AirTags are a fairly recent addition to the Apple device family, but they've made a big difference to those of us prone to misplacing our belongings. You may have read news stories of airlines claiming passengers' luggage was lost, only for the passengers to track down their suitcases themselves with the help of their AirTags. Cliff's story below may be slightly less flashy (no big airline villain here), but his AirTag was no less useful to him:
"I dropped my car at a repair shop about two miles from my house. It was a pretty chilly day, but I had decided to just walk home and get a ride back the next day to pick the car up when it was finished.
