Enhanced Range and Findability
The Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) is powered by Apple’s 2nd-generation Ultra Wideband chip. Using haptic, visual, and audio feedback, Precision Finding guides users to their lost items from up to 50% farther away than the previous generation. An upgraded Bluetooth chip further expands the range at which items can be located.
For the first time, users can use Precision Finding on Apple Watch — supported on Apple Watch Series 9 or later and Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later — to find their Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) directly from the wrist.
With its updated internal design, the Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) is 50% louder than its predecessor, allowing users to hear it from up to 2× farther than before. A new distinctive chime accompanies the louder speaker output.
Note: Precision Finding is not available in countries and regions where Ultra Wideband technology is restricted.
Find My Network and Share Item Location
The Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) works with the Find My app to locate items, Apple devices, and compatible third-party devices. When the Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) is out of range of its paired iPhone, the Find My network — a crowdsourced network of Apple devices using Bluetooth technology — can detect and report the accessory’s approximate location back to the owner.
Share Item Location
The Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) integrates with Share Item Location, an iOS feature that allows users to temporarily and securely share an item’s location with trusted third parties, such as airlines, to assist in recovering delayed luggage or other lost items.
- Apple has partnered with more than 50 airlines to accept Share Item Location links
- According to SITA, carriers report that Share Item Location has reduced baggage delays by 26% and reduced truly lost or unrecoverable luggage by 90%
- Access is granted only to authorised personnel via secure Apple Account or partner authentication
- The shared location is disabled when the user is reunited with their item, can be stopped by the owner at any time, and automatically expires after seven days
Security Features
The Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) is designed exclusively for tracking objects and includes the following privacy and security protections:
- No on-device location storage — AirTag does not physically store location data or history on device
- End-to-end encryption — All communication with the Find My network is encrypted; only the owner can access location data
- Anonymous network — No one, including Apple, knows the identity or location of any device that helped find an AirTag
- Cross-platform unwanted tracking alerts — Industry-first protection against unwanted tracking
- Rotating Bluetooth identifiers — Unique Bluetooth identifiers change frequently for added privacy
Environmental Responsibility and Accessory Compatibility
The Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) is designed as part of Apple’s Apple 2030 initiative to achieve carbon neutrality across its entire footprint:
- 85% recycled plastic in the enclosure
- 100% recycled rare earth elements in all magnets
- 100% recycled gold plating in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards
- 100% fiber-based paper packaging — easily recyclable
The Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) maintains the same form factor as the original AirTag and is compatible with all existing AirTag accessories, including the FineWoven Key Ring.
