Apple will mass-produce AirTag 2 by the end of 2024

Following the rumors of Samsung’s possible launch of the new positioning device Galaxy SmartTag2, there are further speculations indicating that Apple may potentially launch the second generation positioning device, AirTag 2, towards the end of 2024.

Esteemed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple may be inclined to construct a novel spatial computing application mode, involving devices such as the Vision Pro and AirTag 2. Consequently, AirTag 2 could potentially be used as an auxiliary product for device positioning. For instance, it could be utilized to enhance the precision of Vision Pro’s positioning or to integrate additional application services via positioning.

Nevertheless, the specific details pertaining to AirTag 2 remain uncertain for the time being. Kuo anticipates that this product will enter mass production in the fourth quarter of 2024 and might be introduced to the market in the spring of 2025.

Considering that the first-generation AirTag was launched in the spring of 2021, Apple may potentially introduce further updates with AirTag 2. This would enable Apple to construct diverse user experiences on the foundation of its original positioning application functions.
