Apple's AirTag 2 Rumored to Triple Tracking Range with New Chip

Reports suggest the next-generation AirTag will feature an upgraded Ultra Wideband chip for significantly improved tracking capabilities and enhanced security measures.

The AirTag 2 is expected to include a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, similar to the one in the iPhone 15, potentially tripling its Precision Finding range to approximately 90 meters.
This rumored improvement would address limitations of the current model, which has a tracking range of 10 to 30 meters depending on conditions.
The new AirTag is also anticipated to feature enhanced security and privacy measures, including a tamper-resistant speaker design to deter misuse for stalking.
Apple has not officially confirmed the AirTag 2, but reports suggest a release timeline around mid-2025, marking four years since the original model's launch.
The device is expected to retain a similar design to its predecessor while focusing on functionality upgrades and addressing privacy concerns raised by earlier misuse cases.
