🧭 Apple gears up to launch a new AirTag four years after the first model
📰 Bloomberg reports that the new version – code-named B589 — will look similar to the current model, but offer better range, bolster the onboard wireless chip and improve privacy.
🕵️♂️ That includes making it more difficult for someone to remove the speaker from the AirTag. Since the device launched in 2021, some people have unfortunately used the product as a tool for stalking — and removing the speaker makes it less likely for someone to discover a hidden AirTag.
👩⚖️ Apple is still contending with lawsuits over the device, and it’s in everyone’s interest to make the new model more tamper-proof.
