Although there are not many details about the new generation tracking device, it is expected to work in integration with Apple’s mixed reality glasses called Vision Pro. By wearing the goggles, it may be possible to find lost items by visual cues. Kuo said he expects the AirTag 2 to enter mass production in the fourth quarter of next year.

The second generation AirTag is expected to play a key role in creating a new spatial computing-centric ecosystem. The current version of AirTag has the U1 chip for location tracking and precision searching. AirTag 2 will likely feature the more advanced U2 chip.
This improvement can improve AirTag’s performance, especially in terms of tracking accuracy. Apple sold nearly 20 million trackers in 2021. AirTag sales are estimated to nearly double to 35 million units by 2022. The product has received a lot of attention from consumers.
