Moreover, there is no information on whether or not Apple actually has plans to launch a second-gen AirTag. If it does, a launch timeline isn’t available too.

If Apple eventually decides to develop a new AirTag, we expect the company to make improvements in the Bluetooth and privacy features of the device. The company could also redesign the device to let users attach it to their losable items without an additional accessory. So, if you are interested, stay tuned for further updates on the same.
