The Apple AirTag was first unveiled back in 2021 and was the company’s new compact smart tracker. This tiny gadget helped users keep track of precious possessions. A successor dubbed AirTag 2 was recently rumored to launch in 2024, but this release might have been delayed.
Apple AirTag 2 Launch Postponed
The Cupertino based giant was initially planned to announce the AirTag 2 smart tracker next year. But according to the latest report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the release of the upcoming device has been delayed. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the iPhone maker’s AirTag 2 mass production plans have been postponed. Kuo has claimed that the mass production will only begin by 2025.
Previously, Ming-Chi Kuo had claimed that the mass production of AirTag 2 would begin by the fourth and final quarter of 2024. The analyst added that Apple wants to build a new spatial computing ecosystem, with the Vision Pro at the center of other devices. This would include the AirTag 2 as well. Unfortunately, it is still unclear just how the smart tracker will function or integrate with the Vision Pro. Although there are speculations that the AirTag 2’s UWB chip could be used to share positional information with the headset.
The AirTag 2 is expected to launch with improvements over its predecessor, which could imply a higher battery life and wider range. However, this is still just a speculation so take this report with a pinch of salt. So stick around for more as we will be providing more updates when additional information is available regarding this device.
