A nifty new AirTags leak has surfaced from the mighty Jon Prosser, and it appears that the long-awaited accessory could surface in March alongside a refreshed iPad Pro. In a brief tweet on Friday, Jon Prosser said that the “AirTags” are “still on” for a March release. Prosser has a good track record for predicting product release dates.
Fans responded to the tweet with follow-up questions about other expected products such as the refreshed iPad Pro. Prosser stated that the updated tablet is slated for March “as far as I know.”
Information about the AirTags product has been leaked multiple times over the past 18 months, with Prosser and other leakers suggesting that the product is “ready to go” while Apple seems to have held the released back due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Based on data mining out of iOS itself, “AirTags” are expected to be a device tracker that will use Apple’s crowdsourced Find My app to locate devices.
As always, leaks can be hit and miss regardless of who is reporting them. Prosser has good connections within Apple pertaining to release dates, but launch windows can move at a moment’s notice. Part shortages or even the pandemic could cause new products to be delayed yet again before the March event.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
