And if the rumors are correct, rumors about Cupertino work in order to launch Airtags 2 In the same year.

Since Airtags achieve absolutely specific goals, and they do it very well, the question that arises when talking about possible Airtags 2 is simple: what functions of Apple can add or change them? This is a real question, given that in its current format they already cover a fairly wide range of opportunities.

It is also logical to think that in the last almost four years, technology has developed quite a lot at the general level. Consequently, certain characteristics can benefit from these achievements to make the Airtags 2 hypothetics more effective and accurateThis is why we are going to use these lines to collect everything that is known before the second generation of this product.
