When to Expect the AirTag 2 to Launch This Year

The original AirTag was announced during an Apple Event in April 2021, alongside the iMac with the M1 chip, an updated Apple TV 4K, and more. Following a four-year wait, Apple reportedly plans to release an AirTag 2 this year.

A few months ago, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple was aiming to release the AirTag 2 <strong>around the middle of 2025</strong>. While he did not offer a more specific timeframe, that means the AirTag 2 could be announced by the end of June.



Below, we recap what to expect from the AirTag 2:



<ul><li>With a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, the AirTag 2 is expected to have up to 3× longer range compared to the current AirTag. The chip debuted in the iPhone 15 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. On the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models, there is a Precision Finding for People feature that can help you to find your friends in crowded places, and it offers a range of up to 200 feet/60 meters.</li>

<li>The new AirTag's built-in speaker is expected to be more difficult to remove, as a stalking-related safety measure.</li>

<li>The new AirTag is rumored to have improved integration with the Apple Vision Pro, but there are no specific details about this.</li>

<li>No major design changes or rechargeable battery are expected.</li></ul>



In the U.S., a single AirTag costs $29, while a pack of four AirTags costs $99. However, the AirTag is frequently on sale on Amazon. It is unclear if the AirTag 2 will cost more, but it should remain one of Apple's more affordable products.<div class="linkback">Tags: AirTag, AirTags 2</div>
