Key Specifications
The second‑generation AirTag introduces an Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip identical to that used in the iPhone 17 series, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch Series 11, enabling more accurate location tracking.
- UWB chip shared with iPhone 17, iPhone Air, Apple Watch Ultra 3, Watch Series 11
- Upgraded Bluetooth module for a longer detection radius
- Supports Precision Finding on iPhone 15 and newer, as well as Apple Watch Series 9 or later
Precision Finding Enhancements
Precision Finding now delivers haptic, visual, and audio cues, guiding users from up to 50 % farther away than the first‑gen AirTag. The feature requires iOS 17 or later on compatible iPhones and watchOS 26.2.1 on supported watches.
Design and Audio Improvements
The AirTag 2’s form factor remains coin‑like but its speaker is 50 % louder, allowing the sound to be heard from roughly twice the distance of its predecessor.
Privacy Protections
Apple adds a “suite of industry‑first protections” to prevent unwanted tracking, including cross‑platform alerts and frequently rotating Bluetooth identifiers.
Pricing and Availability
The new AirTag retains the $29 price point for a single unit, with a four‑pack bundle available for $99.
