Apple AirTag 2 (2nd Generation)
Overview
The Apple AirTag 2 (2nd Generation) is Apple's latest Bluetooth item tracker, released January 2026, that helps users locate lost items through the vast Find My network. It features a second-generation U2 Ultra Wideband chip that extends Precision Finding range to approximately 60 meters — four times the original's reach — along with a 50% louder speaker for easier audible locating. The AirTag 2 retains the same compact disc-shaped design (31.9mm diameter, 8mm thin, 11.8g), IP67 water resistance, and user-replaceable CR2032 battery lasting roughly one year, all at the same $29 single / $99 four-pack pricing as its predecessor.
