Apple AirTag 2 gets rumored launch date – as original AirTag's price drops for Prime Day

Apple is reportedly gearing up to launch new Apple AirTags in the first-half of 2025, a release which would be the device line’s first refresh since the original Apple AirTag launched back in 2021.

This comes via Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and corroborates a report from last year made by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who says the new AirTag will likely launch with the second-generation ultra-wideband chip that the iPhone 15 released with. The chip should lead to more accurate location tracking, making it easier to find your lost AirTag. It’s also expected to add Apple Vision Pro integration, but what form this will take isn’t yet known.

Otherwise, the AirTag 2 doesn’t appear set to reinvent the wheel. The IP67 rating should continue to provide protection against dust and water, and the battery should still be replaceable. This however does mean the tag may still require an add-on for it to be attached to a keyring.

This design decision does maintain the AirTag’s more high-end aesthetic, however also makes it a pricier option compared to rival BlueTooth trackers.
