Apple’s next tracker is already stirring up buzz, and even the betting markets are taking notice. With rumors pointing to an October reveal for AirTag 2, traders on Polymarket currently see a strong chance—about 68 percent—that Apple will keep the price under $30.
That bet isn’t coming out of nowhere. The first AirTag arrived in April 2021 at $29, making a sub-$30 sequel feel plausible. Still, added hardware and safety features could nudge the price upward, so a higher tag can’t be ruled out. The relevant prediction market is structured to resolve by June 30, 2026; if an official launch hasn’t occurred by then, it settles to “No.”
For anyone new to AirTag, the original model combined Bluetooth, Ultra Wideband (UWB), and NFC to help you locate keys, bags, wallets, and other everyday items with precision through Apple’s Find My network. The sequel is expected to build on that foundation with meaningful upgrades.
Expected AirTag 2 features:
– Longer range and more precise location thanks to a second‑generation UWB chip
– Stronger anti-stalking protections, including a speaker that’s harder to disable and audible alerts if the tag can’t detect its owner
– Low battery level notifications to prompt timely replacements
– Deeper ties to Apple’s ecosystem, with integration that may extend to Vision Pro
If Apple can deliver these improvements while keeping the price near that familiar $29 sweet spot, AirTag 2 could be one of the most compelling smart accessories of the year. Keep an eye on the rumor mill over the coming weeks—price, availability, and final feature details should come into focus as launch chatter intensifies.
