Don’t expect a completely new look just yet
A new report says to expect the AirTag 2 in 2025
Apple is said to be focusing on improving privacy and connectivity
Don’t expect any major design changes, though
Rumors of an Apple AirTag successor began to circulate shortly after the launch of the original. Considering that Apple’s original tracker has been around for nearly four years now, having been unveiled in May 2020, we’ve been hearing about the AirTag 2 for a while, and now a new report is shedding more light on what we can expect.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that a new AirTag, codenamed B589, is in development and that “Apple is getting ready to bring it to market,” likely by the middle of 2025. It’s likely not going to be a redesign, even though we all wish the AirTag had a loop for the easy attachment of keys, but it’s not all bad news.
The report notes that the AirTag 2 will “offer better range, bolster the onboard wireless chip, and improve privacy” compared to the first generation.
