“Just walk out” technology by Amazon

I do it at Apple, but afaik Apples system is based mostly on trust? You just scan and pay with your device, then walk out. Granted, I haven’t tried to steal so there could be more tech than I realize.

I know someone who worked at an apple store a few years ago and they told me that they really had no way to know and lots of products were stolen.

And that's also why you can't do it with small, high-demand products such as AirPods (at least in the stores I've been in).
