Waiting for new Airtags: what the new skills should – current discounted

A good four and a half years after the presentation of the Airtags, Apple’s very popular Bluetooth and Ultra-Wideband tracker, is finally the release of a second version. At least the rumor mill assumes that. It is conceivable that Apple will present the new devices together with new iPhone-17 models at the beginning of September. Among other things, this speaks that large retailers had significantly reduced the trackers in the meantime. There are also codeleaks in iOS 18.6 and further clues.

Amazon and ceconomy with a cheap price

Both Amazon Germany and the electronics markets Saturn and MediaMarkt sold the four-pack for the weekend to the weekend for 89 euros, i.e. 22.25 euros. The campaign has now expired and Ceconomy has decreased to the price of 94 euros to the price of 107.99 euros and Amazon. But a simultaneous action by two so large traders speaks for a form of sale.

In fact, the bargain price is still available for individual smaller resellers, how The Heise price comparison (from € 88.83) shows. On the other hand, Apple’s original price is still included 129 euros For the four -pack. The only advantage when buying from the manufacturer: There you get a engraving free of charge, with which it is easier to distinguish the airtables. Unfortunately, the trade does not offer this.

What the Airtags 2 should be able to do

Already in June showed in one Beta of iOS 18.6that Apple is planning new Airtags. Contained code states that the operating system is already compatible with the still unpublished model. Praise: Apparently Apple does not plan a compulsion to upgrade to iOS 26 in order to be able to use the new trackers.

In the Airtags 2, a longer battery life with previous warnings, increased connection stability to the “where is?” Network including the second generation UWB chip with precision search from 60 meters (instead of 15) as well as improvements in data protection and security. The latter is not necessarily good for people who use the trackers as theft protection. The devices should be “tamper resistant”, for example, recognize that the speaker has been deactivated. It is just as unclear whether the Airtags 2 will be rechargeable or continue to use button cells. It could be 35 euros each.
