Apple refreshed AirTag without raising the price, quietly fixing range, noise, and tracking complaints.
Who pushed the update
Apple rolled out a new tracker.
The product targets everyday item tracking.
It keeps the same entry price.
What actually changed
AirTag 2 gets a second-gen Ultra Wideband chip.
Bluetooth range stretches much farther.
Precision Finding reaches roughly 50 percent farther.
The speaker hits about twice the audible distance.
Where the tech comes from
The UWB chip matches newer iPhone hardware.
Apple Watch models also tap into Precision Finding.
Cross-device locating feels tighter.
When support kicks in
Apple Watch tracking needs watchOS 26.2.1.
Preorders are open.
Shipments begin later this week.
