A rumor suggests that the small locator will not have a second generation before 2025
Apple was considering launching the AirTag 2 by 2024, but it ultimately appears the idea was scrapped. It seems that the second generation of the AirTag will have to wait a little longer… Apple has decided that the launch of the AirTag 2 will not take place until at least 2025.
This information, from Mark Gurman’s weekly newsletter in Bloomberg, agrees with previous rumors which indicated that Apple would present its AirTag 2 in 2025, according to Ming-Chi Kuo.
On this occasion, it was claimed that Apple was experiencing problems with “production-related delays” of the popular tracker. This time Mark Gurman said Apple was “overproducing” the AirTag.
Apple will not launch its AirTag 2 until stock is gone
AirTags have helped thousands of people recover their belongings
Apple is in no hurry to launch its second generation of AirTag. If it is true that the company with the bitten apple logo Unrivaled in the wireless tracker competitionit’s also true that Apple has produced too many AirTags that it now has to sell.
In other words, until Apple sells almost all of its AirTag units, the AirTag 2 will not be introduced.
Current AirTags still work quite well and have most of the features consumers want.
Apple warehouses are full of AirTags
According to Mark Gurman, his sources informed him that Apple’s warehouses are still full of AirTag products. The devices sell very well in the market, but the mass production volume was so high that there are still many units to sell before focusing on the development of a second generation.
Meanwhile, Apple has released a new update for its AirTags. Version 2.0.61 of its firmware introduced stability and connection improvements.
What new features could the AirTag 2 have?
In principle, the second generation of AirTag will have a design similar to the original version. At most, perhaps I could have a slightly smaller size and an easier way to access the battery compartment, after some consumer criticism.
On the other hand, the AirTag 2 could have a updated wireless chip to stay up to date with the new hardware components of the iPhone and Apple Watch respectively. He U2 chip offers greater location accuracy and energy efficiency.
So if you were waiting for the launch of the AirTag 2 to take advantage of new features or buy the original version at a reduced price, until 2025 it seems there will be no news.
