Apple has announced an updated version of its tracking device, the AirTag, known as the AirTag 2. This new model enhances findability with significant upgrades, including a new chip that improves accuracy and range in locating items.
Enhanced Features of the AirTag 2
One of the standout improvements in the AirTag 2 is the speaker, which is now 50% louder. This enhancement targets user feedback regarding difficulty in locating lost items. While it won’t solve every problem, this change promises to improve the overall user experience.

Security and Airline Collaboration
Apple emphasizes the security features integrated into the AirTag 2. The device employs encryption technology, ensuring that only the owner can track their AirTag. Additionally, Apple has partnered with airlines to facilitate temporary sharing of tracking capabilities, helping users locate lost luggage.
No Major Feature Overhaul
It’s important to note that the AirTag 2 doesn’t introduce any groundbreaking features. The update primarily focuses on refining existing capabilities such as accuracy, volume, and range.
