Apple launched the AirTag tracker in 2023. It is a neat little tracking accessory that allows users to locate their belongings like keys, bags, apparel, vehicles, and more. The device hasn’t seen a successor even after three years. However, Apple is now planning to launch the new AirTag in mid-2025.
The new Apple AirTag will have more privacy features
The popular Apple analyst Mark Gurman claims Apple is working on a new AirTag that will have upgraded features. Furthermore, the source suggests that the new AirTag tracker will get more privacy features. The tech giant will implement the new functionalities on the device to curb unwanted tracking or stalking of people. Apple is already working very hard to improve the privacy features of the new device.
The new AirTag will make it hard to remove the speaker from the device
Furthermore, the source claims that the new privacy features will make it difficult to remove the speaker from the second-gen AirTag. Stalking concerns have led to this. Notably, it is fairly easy to remove speakers from the AirTag. Apple knows this problem and has implemented features to enhance privacy. Besides, the AirTag offers sound alerts that let a person know there’s an unknown AirTag in their vicinity.
Notably, the new Apple AirTag for 2025 could look a lot like the current model. However, there will be several enhancements under the hood. The new AirTag will offer an enhanced range. This means you’ll be able to track your belongings from farther away. Besides, Apple will power the new AirTag with a more powerful wireless chip. Furthermore, the device will provide better performance and efficiency.
The first-gen AirTag already offers a decent range. We are curious to see what other new features Apple has in store for us. The current model is currently retailing for $29. You can also purchase a combo pack of four devices for $99.
