Apple likely to bring AirTags 2 in 2025: Heres what we know about major upgrades

Apple is set to launch the AirTags 2 model in 2025, upgrading its AirTags unveiled four years ago. According to a report, the development of AirTags 2 is in full swing, and the device could debut as early as 2025. Sporting a similar design to that of AirTags, the AirTags 2 is expected to receive significant upgrades. 

According to the report, most of these upgrades will focus on enhancing privacy, alongside a longer range. Apple is expected to include a more powerful chip in the AirTags 2 compared to the original model. Apple seeks to make it significantly harder to track. In this regard, new privacy features will be integrated with the device. Previously, several cases have surfaced suggesting the use of AirTags to stalk people, which Apple wants to address. Although Apple has implemented measures to mitigate the issue, users would like to completely get rid of the concerns. 

The AirTags 2 is expected to come with a price increase due to the integration of these upgrades. While the report does not explicitly mention the launch date, Apple is likely to launch AirTags 2 alongside the iPhone SE or the iPhone 17 series later next year. 

Over the past four years, AirTags have proven to be quite useful. While the report mentions no significant design overhauls, Apple enthusiasts will still look forward to meaningful upgrades that bring a fresh feel to the product. 

In other related developments, Apple recently started offering spare parts for the iPhone 16 series. It allows users in the US and some other countries to repair their own devices. The initiative empowers iPhone users to perform safe, do-it-yourself (DIY) repairs with original Apple components. However, while the self-repair option can help users save costs, it is recommended for those who are well-familiar with handling electronics.
