Rumors persist that Apple will roll out a new AirTag in 2025, bringing more precise tracking to the device with a new and longer-ranged Ultra Wideband chip.
The AirTag has had Ultra Wideband from the start. It is at the core of the AirTag, and allows for Precision Finding at relatively close range.
However, a new report on Sunday morning delves into a main improvement in the device. Reportedly the next AirTag will get an Ultra Wideband chip that’s ”on par” with the one found in the iPhone 15.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is set to visit Mar-a-Lago on Friday night to dine with President-elect Donald Trump, according to a report from The New York Times. Cook joins a string of other tech leaders who have visited Trump’s Florida club over the last several weeks.

As reported by The New York Times:
Mr. Cook and Mr. Trump are scheduled to dine on the patio at Mar-a-Lago later on Friday, according to two people with knowledge of the upcoming meeting. The two men had a warm relationship during Mr. Trump’s first term — much warmer than Mr. Trump’s with other tech executives, like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg or Google’s Sundar Pichai, both of whom recently had their own meals with Mr. Trump.

So is X seeing more or less usage, especially in the wake of the U.S. election?
Because the reports are widely conflicted. Based on third party insights, X is losing millions of users every week, while alternative platforms like Threads and Bluesky continue to gain traction.
Yet, X itself, which is the only source of truly accurate X usage info, continues to report record usage, with its latest update being that “active user seconds”, its preferred performance metric, reached a record high in 2024.

Meta is asking California Attorney General Rob Bonta to block OpenAI’s planned transition from a non-profit to for-profit entity.
