"It's powered by the second-generation Ultra Wideband chip (U2), which Apple has already employed in recent iPhone and Apple Watch models. It improves the ability to find the tag's exact location when using Apple's Precision Finding mode, with up to 1.5 times greater range. You can lift your iPhone, and you'll receive visual, audio, and haptic feedback as the device guides you to your AirTag."
"Apple says Precision Finding is now available on the Apple Watch Series 9 or later and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 or newer. The second-gen AirTag is 50 percent louder than its predecessor, and Apple says it can be heard from twice as far away as before; there's a new chime, too. Apple has also upgraded the Bluetooth chip for better range."
"Apple requires new owners of the second-gen AirTag to have an iPhone or iPad running the latest iOS 26 version (you also need an Apple Account and have to be signed into iCloud). The software features remain the same-everything is powered by Apple's Find My feature, which leverages a network of Apple devices to help you locate and track your AirTag."
Second-generation AirTag uses the second-generation Ultra Wideband (U2) chip to improve Precision Finding with up to 1.5× greater range and delivers visual, audio, and haptic guidance. Precision Finding now works on Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 or newer. The tag is 50% louder with a new chime, doubled audible distance, and an upgraded Bluetooth chip for better range. Battery life remains more than a year and the battery stays user-replaceable. New owners must use an iPhone or iPad on iOS 26 with an Apple Account and iCloud. Find My network tracking and anti-stalking alerts remain. The enclosure uses largely recycled materials.
