AirTag 2 Launches in 2025 Instead of Next Year, Sketchy Rumor Claims, Will Support '3D Precision Finding'

AirTag has been a huge success, and thanks to the pairing of the tracker and Apple's Find My network, users can track almost anything. There have been cases where people have managed to move their stolen cars, but there is a possibility that Apple sees room for improvement in the form of an AirTag 2. While an analyst previously predicted that the second-generation tracker would arrive in 2024, an update has is that it will launch in 2025 and will apparently come with a new feature.

'3D Precision Finding' can offer a more accurate way to find your assets with AirTag 2

We've learned that the AirTag 2 will reportedly come with improved integration capabilities with the recently announced Apple Vision Pro, and it's also rumored to support spatial computing. While these additions should give owners an in-depth look at where their prized possessions are when using the Find My app, LeaksApplePro says on Twitter that another feature coming to the AirTag 2 is "3D Precision Finding."

With Precision Finding, any iPhone that supported the UWB (ultrawide-band) frequency could communicate with the AirTag, and get precise direction details on the device. However, the range of Precision Finding was limited to 10 meters, or 33 feet, which is something the AirTag 2 can improve on. 3D Precision Finding can allow a sort of mini-map to appear on the iPhone, showing whether the tracker is present on a floor above them, below them, or is somewhere underground.

However, LeaksApplePro doesn't have the best track record when it comes to predicting product launches, while Kuo is actually connected to Apple's supply chain, giving him access to more reliable information. For these reasons, we still believe that the AirTag 2 will launch sometime in 2024, but there is a possibility that Apple will surprise us next year.
