In his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple’s AirTag is due for a revamp by mid-2025.
“In May, I reported that Apple is working on a new AirTag — code-named B589 — for release around the middle of next year,” he writes. “That accessory has now progressed in manufacturing tests, and Apple is getting ready to bring it to market.”
Gurman says the upcoming AirTag will feature an upgraded chip with improved location tracking. He also thinks it will have a built-in speaker that’s more difficult to remove than that in the current model. Gurman also anticipates the new AirTag will have improved range and sport anti-stalking measures.
