Apple just released AirTag 2, and while it looks almost identical to the original, the upgrades actually matter more than I expected. Apple claims up to a 50 percent improvement in Bluetooth range and Precision Finding, and after testing it side by side with the first generation AirTag, the difference is very real.

In this video, I test AirTag 2 Precision Finding in real world scenarios, compare it directly against the original AirTag, and try out the new Apple Watch Precision Finding feature available on Apple Watch Series 9 or later running watchOS 26.2.1. I also cover the new, louder chime and why it makes finding lost items much easier.

AirTag 2 keeps the same pricing at $29 for one or $99 for a four pack, so the big question is whether the performance improvements make it worth upgrading.
