The Morning After: Apple's new louder, high-precision AirTag
"Between the new Macs, iPhones and rumored AI gadgets, Apple surprised us with an upgraded, second-generation AirTag. It has Apple's latest Ultra Wideband chip - the same one used in the iPhone 17 lineup and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. It also uses Precision Finding to reach items up to 50 percent further away than the previous AirTag model. This feature will now work with any Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 or newer."
"Apple says the new tag is 50 percent louder and features a "distinctive new chime." So you can show off that you've got the new kind of AirTag. Sadly, there's still no keyring hole, so you might want to invest in a holder... with a keyring. There are cheaper options than Apple's leather version, fortunately. I personally like Elevation Lab's AirTag Wallet Holder."
"With its two protagonists, the game alternates between gory action and tension. Capcom is attempting a delicate balancing act with Resident Evil Requiem. The ninth mainline entry seems to split between the gory action of Resident Evil 4 and the claustrophobic dread of Resident Evil 7. After a four-hour hands-on, the distinction is clear: Leon Kennedy handles the heavy lifting with (mostly) violence, while newcomer Grace navigates a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse in a hospital filled with zombies and other monstrosities."
"There were a lot of bugs. TikTok says it's still working to fix the "multiple bugs" in its US service following a power outage at one of its data centers. Users are having issues logging in and uploading videos and are seeing strange behavior from the "for you" algorithm. Some creators have also noticed that new uploads seem to be getting no views or likes."
Apple released a second-generation AirTag that uses the latest Ultra Wideband chip found in iPhone 17 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. Precision Finding reaches up to 50 percent farther than the previous model and now works with any Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 or newer. The new tag is 50 percent louder and features a distinctive new chime. The device still lacks a keyring hole, so third-party holders remain necessary; cheaper non-Apple options such as Elevation Lab's AirTag Wallet Holder are available. Resident Evil Requiem alternates between gory action and claustrophobic tension across two protagonists. TikTok experienced US service bugs after a data-center power outage, affecting logins, uploads and algorithm behavior.
