Apple’s new AirTag is here and it’s louder—but still needs a key ring

Macworld

Apple on Monday finally introduced its 2nd-gen AirTag, nearly five years after the original version debuted in April 2021. It looks the same, costs the same, and is only slightly upgraded compared to its predecessor.

The main internal upgrade is a louder speaker (Apple claims it’s 50 percent louder than the previous generation), stronger Bluetooth, and the 2nd-gen U2 Ultra Wideband chip. Apple introduced the U2 chip with the iPhone 15 as a more efficient and accurate way to precisely locate lost items.
