AAPL--
According to reports, Apple's new AirTag model, codenamed B589, will feature significant improvements over its predecessor [1][2]. One of the most notable enhancements is an extended range, which should enable users to locate their lost items more easily. Additionally, Apple is said to be incorporating an improved wireless chip, allowing for faster and more reliable connections.
Privacy concerns have arisen with the original AirTag, as some users have employed it for malicious purposes such as stalking [1]. To address these issues, Apple is expected to introduce enhanced privacy features with AirTag 2. These improvements may include more robust location tracking and the ability to disable the device remotely.
Although Apple has yet to officially announce the AirTag 2, rumors suggest that it will be available for purchase in the coming months [1]. Pricing details have not been disclosed, but the current AirTag retails for $19 per unit and $79.98 for a four-pack [2].
