Apple Introduces AirTag 2 with Enhanced Tracking and Louder AlertMon 26th Jan, 2026Apple has unveiled the second generation of its AirTag device, introducing significant improvements in tracking capabilities and volume output. While the new AirTag 2 maintains the familiar design of its predecessor, it incorporates upgraded wireless components for improved performance. The update to the Bluetooth chip further increases the detection range, enabling nearby iPhones to recognize and relay the position of a misplaced AirTag to Apple's servers, thereby assisting the owner in finding their item. Security and Anti-Stalking ConsiderationsAlthough Apple has not introduced new anti-stalking measures for the AirTag 2, the enhanced speaker may aid in alerting individuals to the presence of an unknown AirTag. The company continues to emphasize that AirTags are designed for locating lost items, not as anti-theft devices, due to the built-in warning features that can also alert unauthorized trackers.
