Apple’s second‑generation AirTag boosts Bluetooth range, delivers a speaker that’s about 50 % louder, and adds an upgraded Ultra‑Wideband chip for pinpoint precision, all while keeping the familiar circular design. The refreshed tracker launches in India at ₹3,790 for a single unit and ₹12,900 for a four‑pack, replacing the original model.
Key Upgrades in AirTag 2
50 % Louder Speaker
The built‑in chime now emits sound roughly half again as loud as the first‑generation AirTag, making it easier to locate items hidden under cushions, inside bags, or in noisy environments.
Extended Bluetooth Tracking Range
Improved Bluetooth performance lets the Find My app detect the tag from a greater distance before handing off location data to Apple’s crowd‑sourced network, reducing the time needed to locate lost items.
New Ultra‑Wideband Chip
Apple’s latest UWB chip powers more accurate distance and direction calculations when paired with a UWB‑enabled iPhone or Apple Watch, providing on‑screen arrows and distance readouts for precise “Precision Finding.” The chip also enhances reliability when the tag is out of Bluetooth range.
Enhanced Find My Integration
AirTag 2 deepens its connection with the Find My ecosystem. Users can trigger a sound from an Apple Watch and receive haptic feedback, streamlining the “tap‑and‑find” workflow across iPhone and Watch devices.
Market Position and Privacy
By delivering a louder speaker, longer range, and refined UWB precision, Apple reinforces its premium stance in the Bluetooth tracker market. The Find My network continues to operate with end‑to‑end encryption and anonymized identifiers, ensuring location data remains unlinked to the user’s Apple ID.
Availability and Pricing
AirTag 2 is available in India through Apple’s online store and authorized retailers at ₹3,790 for a single unit and ₹12,900 for a four‑pack. The original AirTag is no longer sold by Apple, though existing devices remain functional.
Future Outlook
The upgraded UWB chip opens possibilities for future software enhancements, such as tighter HomeKit integration or expanded Find My features for non‑Apple accessories. For now, AirTag 2 offers a more reliable, louder, and precise solution for tracking valuable items.
