One of the wildcard products that we might see this Tuesday is <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45SDstj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a> 2. You may wonder, what\u2019s so exciting about a new version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45SDstj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a>? Well, there\u2019s a couple of noteworthy upgrades to keep your eyes peeled for.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s new with AirTag 2<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45SDstj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a> initially debuted in April 2021 at Apple\u2019s \u2018Spring loaded event\u2019, meaning the product is coming up on five years old. Apple has some cool upgrades in the pipeline for the next generation model, hitting on many important issues that the initial model had:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A newer Ultra Wideband chip for better connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Much <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/12\/15\/airtag-2-major-improvement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">longer range <\/a>with Precision Finding, thanks to that new chip<\/li>\n<li>Key privacy upgrades to address <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2021\/12\/20\/apple-airtag-stalking-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stalking concerns<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the new Ultra Wideband chip, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45SDstj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a> 2 will support triple the range with precision finding. Currently, the feature works 10-30 meters away. It could work from 30-90 meters away with the next model, allowing you to find exactly where your AirTag is from an even greater distance.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, people have also modified current AirTags to disable the speaker, allowing the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45SDstj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a> to easily be used for stalking without being able to alert the victim with a noise. Apple has since made <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/02\/10\/apple-announces-airtag-stalking-and-find-my-changes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">software enhancements<\/a> so users can get notified, but speaker removal still creates a concern. AirTag 2 should address that.<\/p>\n<p>It also shouldn\u2019t be changing in design, so existing <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4mSzPtu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag accessories<\/a> should still work even if you decide to buy an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45SDstj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a> 2.<\/p>\n<p>More details<\/p>\n<p>AirTag 2 isn\u2019t a for certain launch for this Tuesday\u2019s Apple event, though it is highly likely. According to previous reports, the product has been \u2018nearly ready\u2019 for ages, so Apple could announce it whenever it sees fit. Given how this accessory relies heavily on the iPhone, launching at the iPhone event seems the most likely.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, though \u2013 it could launch a bit later in the year. We\u2019ll never know for sure, though rumors have consistently stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45SDstj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a> 2 will launch in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In the meanwhile, if you would like to pick up the current <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45SDstj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a>, there\u2019s never been a better time. Currently, you can get a notable 20% discount on an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4m0bDE5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag four-pack<\/a> \u2013 bringing it to just $80. That makes it just\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4m0bDE5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$20 an AirTag<\/a>! Thats a substantial discount from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4iKQjAM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">typical $29\u00a0<\/a>price point.<\/p>\n<p>If you already own an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4iKQjAM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a>, it may also be worth checking out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GEGas7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">waterproof 10-year battery case<\/a>, substantially expanding how you can use an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4iKQjAM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirTag<\/a>. It\u2019s priced at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GEGas7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$40 for a 4 pack<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about the AirTag 2 launch?
