Almost 4 years on from the original AirTag, Apple’s second-generation tracker is finally here.
And at first glance, it looks almost exactly the same. But that’s very much the point.
AirTag 2 is not a radical rethink. Apple hasn’t tried to reinvent something that already worked extremely well. Instead, this update focuses on the areas that actually matter in real use. Range, precision, and everyday usability rather than flashy new features. After all over the years Apple has continued to update the 1st gen
I own 3 of the original AirTags and used them on keys, a wallet and my travel case.
So After using AirTag 2 and running side-by-side distance tests against the original, this feels like a quiet but confident evolution. The question is not whether it is better, because it clearly is, but whether it is worth upgrading for most people.
