Apple's freshly baked item tracker, AirTag 2, is now available for purchase in the US and other countries with the same price tag of $29. This refresh comes more than four years after Apple launched the first-generation AirTag in 2021.
The official announcement for AirTag 2 discussed several key upgrades, most of which are under the hood. For starters, it comes with updated Bluetooth and UWB (Ultra Wideband) chips for improved range and better Precision Finding.
Speaking of which, Precision Finding on AirTag 2 works with compatible Apple Watch models, including Apple Watch Series 9 (or later) or Apple Watch Ultra 2 (or later).
Another thing that makes AirTag 2 easier to find is the louder internal speaker. However, it's hard to get a sense of it from the specs sheet alone. A short video clip shared on X compares the new AirTag chime to the old one, and the new high-pitched chime feels considerably louder.
