Take two to get the AirTag
The AirTag might not be a sign that it’s screaming for a successor, but after all, it was launched in 2021 and it’s limited to what an item tracker of this kind can accomplish. Therefore, it doesn’t require annual updates, but Apple may be thinking about the release of an AirTag 2.
An experienced analyst has said that and we’ll dig into the details below. This article will also serve to store any further reports and news about airTag 2 AirTag 2 once we hear any more information.
However, for the moment and in addition to the little information we’ve gathered thus far, we’ve provided a the things we’d like to see from the AirTag 2, to make it worthwhile to purchase.
Then, let’s cut to the chase.
- What exactly is it? AirTag’s next generation AirTag
- When will it be released? Most likely not until 2023 at the latest.
- What will it cost? We aren’t sure at this time.
- Apple AirTag 2 release date and price
At the moment, we don’t know what will happen to AirTag 2, but according Ming-Chi’s Kuo – an analyst with an impressive record of Apple details – Apple may come up with the AirTag 2 if shipments of the AirTag are increasing. AirTag increase.
Kuo’s precise phrasing is”we “believe Apple will develop the 2nd generation” given the conditions, which suggests like it could be an opinion and not any kind of insider information as well as the possibility that the development hasn’t actually been initiated at this point.
We wouldn’t bet on having the AirTag 2 at all, and even if it does, it’s likely to be delayed until 2023 at the possible time.
There’s no information on how much is the Apple AirTag 2 might cost however, the original AirTag is available for sale at $29 / PS29/AU$45 if you purchase one. The price is $99/PS99/AU$149 when you purchase a set of four. It’s our belief that it’s the same for AirTag 2. AirTag 2 would probably have the same price, however it could be different based on the upgrade options it offers.
News and leaks
Aside from a speculative suggestion that Apple could make the AirTag 2, there’s no any information on it as of yet. We’ll update this section when we learn of any is changed.
What do we would like to see
The AirTag came fully assembled and there’s not any improvements to be made, however there are some areas that Apple could try to do with an AirTag 2, such as the following.
1. Android support
It’s Apple which we’re talking of, and it’s not a surprise that AirTag does not work with Android however it’d be a more popular and desirable device if it could.
Naturally, this would open the app to Android users that are more worldwide then iPhone users. However, it could make it more appealing to people who have an iPhone today, but do not necessarily intend to keep it.
Also, AirTag isn’t exactly the kind of thing that could inspire someone to change to an iPhone for the sake of it, so there’s no compelling reason to block Android. We’d certainly be amazed to learn that AirTag 2 did support Android and iOS, we’d really like it if it will.
2. A more durable design
While we do not think that the AirTag is too fragile, our review did point out that it could be easy to scratch after the first few days of usage so in AirTag 2, AirTag 2 we’d like to see a model that’s more durable and in good condition.
Due to its nature, the AirTag it’s possible to have some issues especially if you’re attaching the tag to your bag or any other item in which it is visible to the world. However, we’re confident that Apple will be able to handle it.
3. Improved waterproofing
The original AirTag from Apple AirTag is equipped with been awarded an IP67 rating, which means that it’s water and splash-proof to an extent of 1 meter for 30 minutes. It’s probably enough however, it’s still less than certain smartphones (such such as iPhone 13 line). iPhone 13 line), and since the AirTag could be more vulnerable to elements, we’d like to see a change in this area.
We would like at a minimum, the AirTag 2 to have an IP68 rating, which is comparable to the majority of smartphones, however, the more waterproof the more durable.
4. Access to shared
One of the great features of competitors like Tile is the capacity to grant other users (such like family members) access to the app to assist you in finding your lost object.
This is especially useful when, for example you’re on the go and believe that you’ve left something you’re trying to track home. If that’s the case, granting an individual from your family or a housemate the access of your AirTag can help speed the process of tracking it. Therefore, we’d like to see this feature added to AirTag 2. AirTag 2.
5. A cheaper price
In the realm of Apple gadgets and technology generally the AirTag isn’t too expensive. In fact, it’s the same price as competitors’ trackers. However, if you wish to buy one of Apple’s most important straps or fobs to attach AirTag to something, AirTag to something, the cost will go up with these accessories usually costing higher than AirTag itself.
For this model, AirTag 2 we want either the device itself to be more affordable or the accessory devices to cost less. or, better yet, both.
