Apple has unveiled AirTag 2 following its initial launch in 2021. This latest generation features special capabilities such as easier and more comprehensive tracking, along with other functions that better meet user needs. Thairath Online invites you to update yourself on AirTag 2 what's new, its price, and the key features it offers.
An AirTag is a small tracking device that allows precise location of belongings via the Find My app on iPhone or iPad. It uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology and can emit sounds to help locate items.
For those looking for a compact tracking device and interested in AirTag 2, here are its standout features.
AirTag 2 comes equipped with the second-generation Ultra-Wideband chip, the same chip used iniPhone 17, iPhone Air, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Apple Watch Series 11. This upgraded chip extends tracking range and improves accuracy. Users can track actual locations using Apple Watch Series 9 or newer, or Apple Watch Ultra 2 or newer.
Addressing many users' needs, AirTag 2 features a new design and produces sounds 50% louder than its predecessor, audible from twice the distance, with both features usable simultaneously.
AirTag 2 is designed with privacy and security in mind, ensuring that location data and history are not stored.
AirTag 2 is rated IP67 for resistance to water splashes and dust, compliant with IEC 60529 standards (submersion up to 1 meter for a maximum of 30 minutes). Its water and dust resistance may diminish with use.
Apple designed AirTag 2 under the Apple 2030 goals, using 80% recycled plastic in its body, 100% recycled rare earth elements in its magnets, and 100% recycled gold in its printed circuit boards. The paper packaging is made from 100% wood fiber and is easily recyclable.
However, AirTag 2 continues to emphasize that it is intended solely for tracking items, as pets move unpredictably and may be out of range of other iOS devices. Additionally, if used to track a person, a notification "AirTag Found Moving With You" will appear, reflecting its design focus on privacy and personal security.
AirTag 2 is sold in two formats:
Purchases through apple.com or Apple Store include free engraving of initials, emojis, or both.
Notably, AirTag 2 features all-uppercase text on the back to distinguish it from the first model. It also supports devices running iOS version 26.2.1, which Apple released as the latest update today (27 Jan 2026 GMT+7).
