While a second-generation AirTag is inevitable, a leaked document has highlighted some important new features as to the AirTag 2.
According to Macworld’s article on Wednesday, leaked code in iOS 26 has highlighted the following forthcoming changes:
- 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.”
The report also 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.
The report also indicates that a new HomePod mini is in the works, and could be powered by an S10 chip.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
