A new AirTag was long rumored to launch in 2025, but that hasn’t happened yet. When the upgraded AirTag 2 product does arrive though, a new leak has revealed five improved features it could bring.
Leaked iOS 26 code highlights AirTag 2 features in the works
Yesterday Filipe Espósito at Macworld reported on three upgrades coming with Apple’s next Studio Display.
Now, his latest report mentions changes coming with the long-awaited AirTag 2.
AirTag 2 is expected to include the following five improvements, per Espósito:
- an improved pairing process
- enhanced Precision Finding
- detailed battery level reporting
- ”Improved Moving,” which might improve tracking while AirTag 2 is moving
- more accurate tracking in crowded places
These features were all discovered as part of a “leaked internal build of iOS 26 seen by Macworld.”
Interestingly enough, the report mentions that these upgrades include a “2025AirTag” internal designation. Thus, it seems Apple was at one point planning to launch AirTag 2 this year—and technically still might.
Finally, the report also highlights that a new HomePod mini is in the works, something we’ve heard before. Per the leaked code, Apple’s next HomePod mini will be powered by an S10 chip.
