Apple’s AirTag 2: release date, expected new products and rumors

According to recent leaks, Apple could unveil the AirTag 2 as early as May-June 2025. Insider Kosutami posted a speculation on X (Twitter) about the release date, although the source of the information remained unnamed. If analyst Mark Gurman’s previous predictions are to be believed, this coincides with his statements about the updated trackers not coming out until mid-2025 at the earliest. The first AirTag came out in 2021, and fans have been waiting for a new version ever since. Let’s tell you what’s known so far.

Rumors of a second-generation tracker have been floating around since 2022, but sources say Apple has delayed the release due to excess inventory of the first model. The company hasn’t commented on AirTag 2 development, so most of the information comes from insiders.

And that’s why we’re not hearing from any insiders.

What will be improved in AirTag 2?

The new product is expected to get a more robust body and an improved speaker. This is an important step for security: in the original tracker, attackers often removed the speaker to hide it when tracking. The louder sound will help you find lost items faster and prevent abuse.

Battery: The AirTag 2 is rumored to keep the replaceable CR2032 batteries rather than moving to a rechargeable battery. This may disappoint some users, but such batteries have become more readily available in recent years.

Precision Finding: The AirTag 2 will likely feature a new UWB (ultra-wideband) chip. This will improve Precision Finding, allowing you to locate lost items more accurately, even in difficult conditions.

A new UWB (ultra-wideband) chip is likely to be installed in AirTag 2.

AirTag has become a popular tool for tracking keys, bags, and other items, but security issues and accuracy limitations have drawn criticism. An updated version could address those issues by making trackers more convenient and reliable, but despite the rumors, it’s worth remaining skeptical until the official announcement.
