Apple preps next-gen AirTag with new chip for even better location tracking
AirTag lets users keep track of personal items like their keys, wallet, purse, backpack, luggage, and more through the Find My app. Whether attached to a handbag, keys, backpack, or other items, AirTag taps into the vast, global Find My network and can help locate a lost item, all while keeping location data private and anonymous with end-to-end encryption.
Now, the company is working on a new AirTag said to feature a new chip allowing for even better location tracking.
Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:
It’s hard to believe that it’s been three years since the AirTag — Apple’s physical-item tracker — hit the market. Now the company is preparing a new version, code-named B589. The product is scheduled to arrive around the middle of next year, and Apple is already doing test runs with manufacturing partners in Asia. As for what’s new, expect a better chip with improved location tracking. Personally, I’d like a louder speaker, better battery life and a version optimized for wallets.
