AirTag 2 Now Rumored to Launch in September or Later This Year With New Battery Feature

I am honestly surprised these couldn't have a wireless rechargeable battery and use a wireless charger or the Apple watch charger.

have had to replace the batteries in them many times. its annoying and archaic.

Wow, if that is all you have to worry about... Such hard work! Changing a battery...

If you've got a bunch, and they're in hard to reach places, I can see it being annoying. And it's not like they said that was the one single thing that vexes them in life.

I really wish Apple would make a "theft mode" where the AirTag wouldn't beep and send notifications to anonymous phones around the tag.

The current anti-stalking protections make it impossible to use AirTags effectively for theft recovery. It's beyond stupid that Apple limits the usefulness of their product when they could just as easily say, "if you use the AirTag for stalking purposes, we're going to give every piece of data that we have to the police and it's going to be the world's easiest conviction"

And what do you think the stalkers are going to enable as soon as they pair it with their phones......?

The only option right now if you want to use it to track something to aid in recovery, is disable the speaker on a 3rd party tracker that doesn't have UWB, thieves will know there's something there but won't be able to precisely pinpoint it.

I have a decoy AirTag in my car and another one without a speaker or UWB functionality, hidden away, my hopes is they'll see the notification and assume it's the AirTag giving them delayed notifications.

Of course you can replace the word thieves with stalking victim, so rock and a hard place, really.

lol did you actually just get triggered by someone who doesn’t like having to change batteries? 😂

It’s gonna be ok bro

Really... Oh I can't bear it! Such a hard life being triggered. And having to change batteries 😆
