- Apple’s AirTag 2 may offer both low and very low battery alerts.
- Most Android trackers still rely on a single vague low-battery warning.
- The AirTag 2 is expected to launch in the fall, likely alongside the next iPhone.
Bluetooth trackers are supposed to give you peace of mind, but there’s always the risk that they’ll silently die on you when you need them most. That’s why one rumored battery management upgrade to Apple’s upcoming AirTag 2 could be a subtle game-changer, and it’s something Android’s ecosystem has yet to catch up on.
As reported by 9to5Mac, Apple is planning to introduce two separate battery alerts in its second-generation AirTag — one for low battery and a second for very low battery. While it sounds like a small tweak, it’s a practical fix for a real-world problem: trackers that stop working without warning because users assumed they still had time.
