Apple’s AirTags will get its first-ever hardware update a new report claiming the tracked will gain finer location accuracy.
Backing up previous reports, Apple is said to be preparing an updated AirTag which is planned to be released in 2025.
According to Bloomberg the updated model is codenamed B589. It’s said to have reached the manufacturing test phase, ahead of what will probably be a mid-2025 release.
The exterior appearance of the new model is expected to remain the same. However, it will feature a new chip with better location tracking and a longer range.
One other change claimed to be coming to the new AirTag is an interior design modification to make the speaker more difficult to remove. This is to prevent stalkers from easily disabling the speaker.
This rumored update to the AirTags would be the device’s first hardware change since Apple unveiled the tracker in April 2021.
