Apple prepares AirTags 2 with tracking improvements

So far, the renewal of AirTags is an unknown and is not expected until mid-2025 (at the earliest). And this is mainly driven by the low expectation of incorporating improvements compared to the first version of the device. However, The most interesting thing is the improvement in device tracking and it seems that Apple is focusing on precisely that.

The current AirTag uses the Network-linked low-latency Bluetooth connectivity from Apple Search to be able to locate oneself in the world. These work the same as any other device built into the Find Network that can be accessed from any Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac, or web).

Since 2021 (and we are saying it soon), the device has not undergone any variation

, neither in price nor in features. Now, according to Gurman in Bloomberg, the new version could arrive mid-2025 and currently its codename is B589 in the Cupertino development teams. Apple is reportedly already discussing and testing this new device with manufacturers in Asia and usually only does so 12 months before launch, so perhaps we could see the AirTag update sooner than expected.

According to Gurman, The AirTags 2 will integrate a new chip that will improve the location of the device. Without commenting for the moment on other improvements such as the speaker or the autonomy of the current batteries.

As we get closer to its launch, new rumors will appear, so we will be very attentive. For now, It seems that something is starting to brew around the AirTag (which is no small feat).
