Item Tracking, Key Finder, Luggage Tracking, Pet Tracking, Vehicle Tracking, Backpack Locator
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.
Key Highlights
- Apple U2 Ultra Wideband chip delivers Precision Finding up to 60m (200 ft) — 4x the range of the original AirTag
- 50% louder speaker (up to 85 dB) makes it far easier to locate misplaced items by sound alone
- IP67 water and dust resistance (tested to 1m depth for 30 minutes) for worry-free use on keys, bags, and luggage
- Replaceable CR2032 battery lasts approximately one year — no charging or disposal of the whole device
- Works with Apple Watch Precision Finding starting from Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 via U2 chip
