Apple’s Second-Generation AirTag Adds Louder Chime and Watch Precision Finding as Discounts Hit Older Packs

Reviewers describe a modest refresh that leaves pricing unchanged, with discounts on older four-packs drawing interest.

Overview

  • The updated tracker keeps the same design and Find My approach while adding a roughly 50% louder speaker, modest range gains, and Precision Finding on Apple Watch.
  • Apple’s pricing is unchanged at $29 for a single AirTag or $99 for a four-pack.
  • Early reviews say the tweaks are helpful but incremental, and most existing owners need not replace working tags.
  • Retailers are discounting the previous model’s four-pack, with Amazon offering $69.99 in the U.S. and U.K. pricing seen at £69, which is swaying some buyers.
  • AirTags still lack built-in GPS, rely on Apple’s crowdsourced network, use a replaceable CR2032 battery lasting about a year, and carry an IP67 rating.
