"As much as I hate to admit it, I can be absentminded and scatterbrained. It only gets exacerbated when I'm wrangling baggage at the airport. I was so frazzled once, I lost my MacBook Air amid the chaos. I thought I was done for, until I remembered that an AirTag was tucked inside the laptop case. Hallelujah. Sure enough, I tracked it down on a bench near the security checkpoint, quietly thanked Apple's genius, and was on my way."
"So when Apple released a second-generation of its handy Bluetooth tracker, I wanted to be the first in line to try. Apple simply calls it "the new AirTag," but for the sake of sanity -and your readability - I'll be referring to it as AirTag 2. Tricky to differentiate between previous AirTag The AirTag 2, in theory, should be better than the original AirTag."
A person lost a MacBook Air at an airport and recovered it by tracking an AirTag hidden in the laptop case. Apple released a second-generation AirTag with improved Precision Finding, an upgraded speaker, enhanced location sharing for airline luggage tracking, and stronger protections against unwanted tracking. Precision Finding uses on-screen arrows, real-time distance tracking, and haptics to guide users, while a blue dot appears on the map when out of range. Apple claims an extended Ultra Wideband range for AirTag 2 that permits Precision Finding from further distances. A comparative experiment placed both original and second-generation AirTags in a distant office bag to test range.
