Apple’s Next AirTag: The Battery Boost
Why We’re All Excited
Apple is quietly working on a fresh AirTag with a big upgrade – a new battery feature that could change how we keep track of our stuff.
When Will It Arrive?
- Spotlight: The next generation may hit the market alongside the iPhone 17 later this year.
- Timing cue: Bits of code in iOS 18.6 beta hint at a software update for the tracker.
What’s New?
- Low‑Battery Alerts – The new AirTag will warn you when the battery is “low” or “very low.”
- Better Find My integration – you’ll get extra notifications right in the app.
- Rechargeable battery? That’s the biggie. Apple might finally switch from the typical replaceable pouch to a rechargeable power source.
Why It Matters
Think about it: no more guessing or scrambling to find a tiny battery, and a smoother experience for those who rely on one of the most beloved tracking gadgets out there.
Takeaway
Get your fingers ready. Apple’s next AirTag could be a game‑changer — keeping you in the loop about battery life while letting you trust it, again and again.
Apple’s Next AirTag: No Rechargeable Power, Just Good‑Old‑Style Batteries
Who’s Saying What?
Mark Gurman at Bloomberg dropped a key spoiler: the upcoming AirTag won’t come with a rechargeable battery. Instead, Apple sticks to a replaceable battery for the new tracker.
Why It Matters
- Convenience: No need to wait for a big overnight charge.
- Longevity: You can swap just like old‑school phone batteries.
- Cost‑effective: Fresh batteries are inexpensive and widely available.
Release Window
According to Gurman, Apple plans to unveil the AirTag 2 sometime in June or July—essentially the middle of this year.
