Apple's AirTags will get their first-ever hardware update, according to a new report, which claims tracking will be more accurate. According to previous reports, Apple is said to be preparing to update AirTags, scheduled to be released in 2025.
According to Bloomberg, the updated model is codenamed B589. It is reported that it has entered the manufacturing testing stage and may be released in mid-2025.
The appearance of AirTags 2 is expected to remain unchanged. However, it will use a new chip with better location tracking and longer battery life.
This means that the new AirTag will use the ultra-wideband chip currently used in the iPhone15 and iPhone16 series. One of the changes the new AirTags are said to include is a modification to the internal design to make the speaker more difficult to remove. , this is to prevent trackers from easily disabling the speaker.
The rumored AirTags update will be the first hardware changes since Apple released the trackers in April 2021.
