Overview
- The second-generation tracker keeps the original size and accessory compatibility and continues to cost $29 for one or $99 for a four-pack.
- Reviewers report a meaningfully longer Ultra Wideband and Bluetooth range—up to about 50% farther—with a chime that is noticeably louder in real-world use.
- Precision Finding now works on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 or later, requiring watchOS 26.2.1, while iPhone requires iOS 26.2.1 for full functionality.
- A teardown shows a thinner PCB and a more securely glued speaker magnet to deter tampering, yet the device still functions if the speaker is removed.
- Retail rollout includes a Costco bundle that adds a fifth tag to the $99 four-pack, and Apple says more than 50 airlines now support Share Item Location for lost baggage.
