Apple has officially introduced the second-generation AirTag, delivering meaningful upgrades while preserving the familiar coin-shaped design and original pricing. The new AirTag features a next-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip, extending Precision Finding range by nearly 50%, making it easier than ever to locate misplaced items.
One of the most notable enhancements is the louder built-in speaker, which can now be heard from twice the distance compared to the previous model—particularly useful in noisy environments or when tracking items indoors. Apple has also improved Bluetooth connectivity, ensuring more reliable detection and faster responses.
For the first time, Precision Finding can now be accessed directly from compatible Apple Watches, including the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, without requiring an iPhone nearby. This marks a significant step forward in Apple’s ecosystem integration and convenience for users on the move.
Despite the upgrades, Apple has kept the price unchanged at $29, continues to offer free engraving, and ensures compatibility with existing AirTag accessories and cases. Software updates released yesterday fully enable the new features, with shipments expected to begin later this week.
With smarter tracking, deeper ecosystem support and no price increase, the second-generation AirTag strengthens Apple’s leadership in personal item tracking technology
