FULL STORY
======================================================================

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

This comes via Bloombergs 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. Its also expected to add Apple 
Vision Pro integration, but what form this will take isnt yet known. 

Otherwise, the AirTag 2 doesnt 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 AirTags more high-end aesthetic, 
however also makes it a pricier option compared to rival BlueTooth trackers.
