Apple has launched the new AirTag with longer Bluetooth range: The wider industry impact

Apple AirTag generation 2 is here. The latest AirTag from Apple comes powered by a second generation Ultra Wideband chip — the same chip which is present in the iPhone 17 lineup, iPhone Air, Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch Series 11. Apple has launched the new AirTag with longer Bluetooth range and louder speaker in India.

Paired with its enhanced Precision Finding capabilities and distinctive new chime, the company claims that the AirTag now makes it easier for users to find their important items, such as keys hidden deep in between couch cushions or a wallet as they head out the door.

The new AirTag requires a compatible iPhone with iOS 26 or later, or iPad with iPadOS 26 or later. The new AirTag integrates seamlessly with Share Item Location, an iOS feature designed to help users recover a misplaced item by temporarily and securely sharing its location with trusted third parties, such as airlines, so they can assist in recovering delayed luggage or other lost items. Customers must have an Apple Account and be signed into their iCloud account.

Certain features require Find My to be enabled in iCloud settings.

The new AirTag will also be available at Apple Authorised Resellers. The new AirTag is available to order on apple.com and in the Apple Store app today, and will be available at Apple Store locations later this week.

Using haptic, visual, and audio feedback, Precision Finding guides users to their lost items from up to 50 percent farther away than the previous generation. Apple AirTag generation 2 also features upgraded Bluetooth chip which expands the range at which items can be located. For the first time, users can use Precision Finding on Apple Watch Series 9 or later, or Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later, to find their AirTag.

AirTag is designed exclusively for tracking objects and offers protections against unwanted tracking. The new AirTag is powered by second-generation Ultra Wideband chip which makes it easier to locate than ever before.
