Lufthansa found itself in the middle of the issue when reports surfaced in the German news media that the devices were prohibited. It does not appear that any other airlines are requiring passengers to turn off the trackers, which have become popular as a way to find lost baggage. Apple rejected that interpretation on Tuesday, saying its trackers comply with all regulations.
