Summary
Tests found AirTag 2 triggered Precision Finding from 56 feet versus 17 feet for the original in one garden trial, with Apple attributing the gain to a new Ultra Wideband chip and upgraded Bluetooth.
A louder speaker is the other main upgrade: Apple says 50% louder, while the reviewer measured 100.4 dB for AirTag 2 against 78.4 dB for the first model.
Apple also added Precision Finding on Apple Watch Series 9 and later, plus Share Item Location for airlines; more than 50 carriers support the feature, which Apple says has cut permanently lost luggage by 90%.
At £29 for one or £99 for four, AirTag 2 keeps the original’s price and accessory fit, making it the better buy for new buyers, though the review says existing AirTag owners have little reason to upgrade.
