Apple’s Next‑Gen AirTag Might Be on the Horizon
Apple fans, brace yourselves! Bloomberg’s latest scoop says the company could soon roll out a shiny new version of its beloved AirTag.
According to Mark Gurman in the newest Power On newsletter, the upgraded AirTag is “nearly ready” to hit the market. The analyst had originally penciled in a 2025 launch by mid-year, and now the countdown is sneaking past the halfway mark.
What the Analyst Actually Said
- Premise: The breakthrough AirTag is basically done, but it’s hard to call it a blockbuster.
- Reality check: It may sneak in a few weeks before the mid‑point of 2025.
- Full reveal: Possibly missed the WWDC 2025 spotlight.
In a Q&A chat, Gurman shrugged that while the next‑gen device is good to go, it might not get the fanfare we’re hoping for – smooth tech quietly improving life, not a rocket‑ship launch.
So, what’ll be the real game‑changer? If Apple sticks to its streak of subtle upgrades, we just might get a slightly smarter, more seamless way to keep tabs on our gear. Stay tuned, and keep your keys ready – you never know when your stuff’s vibe might shift!
Apple’s Quiet AirTag 2 Buzz
What’s the Hype?
Apple fans are buzzing about a possible AirTag 2, even though the company hasn’t dropped any official statement. Rumors paint a picture of new tech tucked inside the tiny tracker: a second‑generation UW chip (think ultra‑wideband), a neat spatial‑computing twist that could play nicely with the Vision Pro, and tougher tamper‑resistance to keep those sneaky thieves on their toes.
No Big Redesign, Just Finer Tweaks
Good news for the perky little crystal that helps you find lost keys or that runaway pet: we’re not looking for a complete makeover. The shape and size should stay pretty much the same—just a few smarter bite‑size upgrades under the hood.
Fast Facts
- Launch date of the first generation: April 2021, during Apple’s famous keynote event.
- Price point in the U.S.: The original AirTag was listed at $29.
- Expected improvements:
- Second‑gen UW chip for sharper location fixes.
- Future spatial‑computing compatibility (Vision Pro, anyone?).
- Higher resistance to tampering.
- Design note: No major redesigns anticipated.
So, Should You Pre‑Order?
Without an official word from Apple, the only thing we can guarantee is that the rumors are sparkly, but the reality might hang on the same chapter page of the Apple manual. Until they hit the shelves, we’ll just have to keep an eye out and maybe add an extra tag to the fun of losing and finding things.
