Apple will soon release its long-anticipated AirTag 2 item tracker. This accessory was first unveiled in 2021 during the pandemic, but it has become even more useful as we have returned to our regular lives. Even with Apple and other big tech companies having to adapt some of the features available with item trackers due to people misusing these accessories to track people instead of their belongings, a second-generation couldn't come soon enough. Now, in his latest Power On newsletter, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple is really preparing an AirTag 2 for the next year. According to the journalist, Cupertino will improve the "onboard wireless chip and security features,” meaning it will be easier to find any items that you've attached to it. Gurman believes Apple will add the same second-generation ultra-wideband chip available with the iPhone 15 lineup and later. If that's accurate, the new model will triple Precision Find range. Currently, the AirTag can be located from about 10 to 30 meters away. With this new chip, we might get almost 100 meters away, a great improvement. Previously, I wrote on BGR how I was able to locate a friend at a Taylor Swift concert thanks to this chip available on the iPhone 15. One of these days, I had to find another friend who had my keys, and thanks to the AirTag, I was able to locate him fairly quickly, even though the Precision Find feature hasn't helped the way I hoped. With AirTag 2, I hope Apple adds other features, making this device even more useful. I hope Cupertino adds the following: A new option: The lack of design options might make users opt for a third-party item tracker instead of Apple’s option. For example, fitting the current AirTag into a wallet isn’t ideal. A slimmer model could help boost sales. Louder sound: AirTag 2 should be louder when we tap the ring button. This could help us find the item tracker more quickly. Below, you can learn other features I hope Apple adds to this accessory.

Nadia Popovici was not expecting to save anyone’s life when she attended a hockey game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Seattle Kraken in 2022. However, when the NHL fan spotted a suspicious-looking mole on the back of a staff member’s neck, she knew she needed to speak up. Thinking fast, she typed a message on her phone and held it up so that Brian Hamilton, the assistant equipment manager for the Canucks, could see it. Luckily, her words got his attention. “The mole on the back of your neck is possibly cancerous,” the woman had written, according to The Guardian. “Please go see a doctor!” Thankfully, Brian decided to follow the NHL fan’s advice about his mole. He consulted a doctor and had the mark removed. When the tests came back, he found out that the mole was cancerous after all! However, since he took care of it early enough, he’d be just fine. Screengrab from YouTube You might be wondering how Nadia Popovici was able to identify the malignant growth. As this NHL fan explained to the Seattle Times, she’d done some volunteer work at hospitals. There, she’d seen plenty of cancerous moles. As soon as she caught sight of the back of Brian’s neck, she knew something wasn’t right. This NHL staff member really wanted to tell Nadia how grateful he was to her for pointing out his mole, but he had no idea how to find her. So, he took to X (then Twitter) to get the internet’s help. #HockeyTwitter, we need your help!Please RT to spread the word and help us connect Red with the woman he considers his hero. pic.twitter.com/HlZybgOnjf— Vancouver Canucks (@Canucks) January 1, 2022 It didn’t take long for Brian’s message to get around to Nadia, The Guardian tells us. At the next Canucks vs Kraken game, the assistant equipment manager actually got to meet the young woman who had saved his life. Not only did he thank her, but so did the two sports teams! Since she was headed for medical school, they announced that she would be receiving a $10,000 scholarship. How incredible is that? Here’s one more amazing fact about the young woman who saved the life of a Canucks staff member. She was actually a Kraken fan! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
