Juli Clover of MacRumors believes that the tracker could send “position information” to the headset through its ultra-wideband chip. However, it is only a possibility.
“We’ve heard little about a second-generation AirTag at this point, and there is no information on what Apple might include in terms of design changes, form factor updates or feature additions,” Clover stressed.
For the insider, it is likely that a new AirTag incorporates the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip already found in the iPhone 15, which would allow “even more precise tracking indoors.”
