Apple Delays AirTag 2 Launch to 2025 Due to Overstock of First-Generation Product

The new generation tracker is expected to feature an upgraded wireless chip, aligning with the latest components in iPhones and Apple Watches.

Apple has reportedly delayed the launch of its second-generation AirTag until 2025 due to an overstock of the first-generation product.
The decision to postpone the launch primarily comes from the overproduction of the first-generation AirTags, with retail stores and warehouses still brimming with the product.
The AirTag 2 is set to feature an upgraded wireless chip, in line with the latest components seen in iPhones and Apple Watches.
This includes a second-generation Ultra-Wideband chip, capable of communicating over long ranges, an improvement over the U1 chip in older iPhones and AirTags.
Despite the delay, Apple's existing AirTags are still performing effectively, and the company faces minimal competition in the 'Find My' network.
