Apple is rumoured to be working on the next-generation version of the AirTag. And with concerns over its misuse, the company is supposedly looking to add some privacy improvements to the accessory. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports in his Power On newsletter that Apple is looking to make it tamper-proof, meaning its speaker will be more difficult to remove. Apple added features to the AirTag to help curb unwanted trafficking. One of them is sound alerts that let you know there's an unknown AirTag in your vicinity.

Gurman writes that the second-generation AirTag will also feature an onboard wireless chip and get better range. However, don't expect it to look much different from its predecessor. The new Apple AirTag will supposedly launch in mid-2025.
