"The new updates focus more on making a good thing better. There are upgraded ultra-wideband and Bluetooth chips that help extend the range by about 1.5 times. The chime has a new, higher pitch and is 50 percent louder thanks to a redesigned speaker. And you can now use Precision Finding for AirTags on an Apple Watch, provided you have at least a Series 9 or Ultra 2."
"Both of us struggle with ADHD. We have wily cats who love to bat things under couches and beds and behind shelving. Without AirTags, we'd probably spend an hour a day running up and down the 42 stairs of our four-story townhome trying to find our essentials. We have AirTags on our key fobs, TV remotes, wallets, car glove boxes, and inside our Canada Goose jackets."
Second-generation AirTag improves performance with upgraded ultra-wideband and Bluetooth chips that extend range by roughly 1.5 times. The redesigned speaker raises pitch and increases volume by about 50 percent. Precision Finding becomes available on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2. The $29 tracker remains compact and affordable, fitting on key fobs, remotes, wallets, glove boxes, and jacket interiors, and is particularly useful for households managing attention challenges and pets. Persistent issues include the puck shape being awkward for wallets, susceptibility to scuffs and breakage, occasional weak Bluetooth connection, and unchanged size and form factor.
