The Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) was released in early 2026, offering significant internal performance upgrades while maintaining the same physical form factor as the original.
Key Improvements in 2nd Gen
- Expanded Precision Finding: Powered by a second-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip, the range for directional guidance is increased by up to 1.5x compared to the original model.
- Louder Speaker: The built-in speaker is 50% louder, making it easier to hear through bags or cushions.
- Apple Watch Integration: Precision Finding is now supported directly on the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 (or later), providing haptic and visual directions from your wrist.
- Sustainability: The enclosure is made from 85% recycled plastic, and the packaging is 100% fiber-based.
The Apple AirTag (2nd Gen) makes tracking your essentials effortless with a 50% louder built-in speaker and up to 1.5× greater Precision Finding range. Powered by advanced Ultra Wideband technology, it works seamlessly with the Find My app on iPhone and Apple Watch, showing the exact distance and direction to your item. With secure Bluetooth connectivity, one-tap setup, and Siri support, finding keys, bags, or luggage is faster and smarter than ever.
Running on Apple’s integrated platform and connecting through iOS / iPadOS, AirTag uses encrypted signals through the Find My network of over a billion Apple devices to help locate lost items privately and securely. It features a user-replaceable battery lasting over one year, NFC support for Lost Mode contact sharing, and the ability to share tracking access with up to five people for family convenience.
