• Apple could launch the long-awaited AirTag 2 next year.
• The next-gen model will pack a new wireless chip, offer better range, and improve privacy.

Although it’s been over three years since the original AirTag hit the market, Apple has yet to release its successor. While some rumors suggested that the company could launch the second-gen model this year, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman confirmed this January that it wouldn’t arrive until next year. Now, Gurman has revealed that the AirTag 2 is on track for a 2025 launch and will come with three key upgrades.

According to this week’s Power On newsletter, the AirTag has “now progressed in manufacturing tests, and Apple is ready to bring it to the market.” Gurman reports that the second-gen model, codenamed B589, will look similar to the original AirTag but bring three noteworthy changes.
