With over three years in the market, Apple’s AirTag tracking device is anticipated to receive a significant update in the near future. Here’s what we predict for the AirTag in 2025.
Since its introduction, Apple’s AirTag has established itself as an invaluable tool for many users. Stories abound of individuals successfully retrieving stolen belongings and locating lost luggage at airports, underscoring the effectiveness of this modestly priced white disc.
Despite its core functionality being quite effective, there remains room for enhancement. As speculation grows regarding improvements in the next iteration, here are some expected updates for the second-generation model.
Anticipated Updates: What’s Next for AirTag?
Launched in April 2021 without any design alterations since then, the AirTag is nearing its fourth anniversary—a prime opportunity for Apple to unveil an upgraded version.
As early as June 2022, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that based on increasing shipment trends, a second-generation model was likely on Apple’s agenda. The popularity of this product makes discontinuation seem impractical.
The compact design of the AirTag doesn’t offset its substantial utility.
By October 2023, Kuo reaffirmed expectations that Apple will indeed launch a new model soon with mass production slated to commence by late 2024.
However, Mark Gurman revealed in January 2024 that Apple may not be hurrying toward releasing this second iteration and might defer it until 2025 due to an oversupply situation—warehouses reportedly filled with existing stock from earlier production runs.
Possible Enhancements: Expanding Functionality
Characterized by its simplicity even by Apple’s standards—consisting mostly of housing around a coin-sized battery—the current design still offers potential avenues for technical upgrades within such limited space.
The Find My application integrated with UWB facilitates effortless location tracking of your AirTag when needed.
Speculation suggests improvements could include advanced Ultra Wideband capabilities aimed at increasing operational range. Analysts forecasted potential expansion up to threefold compared to existing specifications; thus elevating distances attained under ideal conditions from approximately 30 meters (98 feet) up close to around 90 meters (295 feet).
Additions You Might See: Smaller Variants
A handful(for many instances) use specialized trackers compatible with Find My network tailored specifically designed wallets—they adopt streamlined designs conducive to easy fitting behind credit cards or IDs.
Potential Integration With Emerging Technologies Involving Vision Pro
