AirTag, which has not received much attention, has gradually grown in shipments since its release. Shipment estimations of AirTag reach about 20 mn & 35 mn units in 2021 & 2022, respectively. If AirTag shipments continue to grow, I believe Apple will develop the 2nd generation.

He added that there's a high chance Apple will ship up to 32 million AirTag shipments before 2022 ends.

Aside from these, there are also some upgrades that improve your experience, including a function that creates a sound when the tracker is too far from the original owner.
What To Expect from the New AirTag Model
Apple's existing AirTag works in a very simple way. Users need to connect this tracking device to their iPhones. Then, their AirTag needs to be attached to their essential belongings.
You can do this to your bike, bag, laptop bag, etc. Aside from this, you can also attach an AirTag to your kid's belt or bag so that you can know their real-time location when going to crowded places.
However, since other individuals use their Apple AirTags to commit illegal activities, there's a high chance that Apple will integrate more security features into the upcoming model.
These include anti-stalking features, as well as louder speakers. But, these details are not yet confirmed by the giant iPhone manufacturer.
Previously, experts confirmed that the Apple AirTag Phantom Alert feature has issues.
On the other hand, AirTags without speakers were sold on Etsy and eBay.
