Apple is reportedly working on a second-generation AirTag, its popular item-tracking accessory. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new AirTag is expected to launch in mid-2025, featuring several enhancements.
One of the key upgrades will be an improved chip with enhanced location-tracking capabilities. This could potentially be the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip found in the iPhone 15 models. The new AirTag is also rumored to have a more secure built-in speaker, making it more difficult to tamper with and addressing anti-stalking concerns.
In terms of design, the new AirTag is expected to be similar to the current model. However, it is rumored to offer improved range, making it easier to track items over longer distances.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also hinted at integration between the new AirTag and Apple’s Vision Pro headset, although specific details are not yet known. This integration could potentially allow users to locate items using the headset’s augmented reality capabilities.
These rumored updates suggest that Apple is committed to improving the functionality and security of its AirTag, making it an even more useful tool for tracking personal belongings.
