Apple has taken a step towards improving its AirTag tracking device with the introduction of an updated model, boasting significant enhancements thanks to its new Bluetooth chip. The second-generation Ultra Wideband chip promises to boost the device's effectiveness in various ways.
One notable feature is the expanded range of the Precision Finding feature, which allows users to locate their AirTag from up to 50% farther away. This upgrade aims to address some of the concerns surrounding unwanted tracking and stalking with the original AirTag. Apple has gradually introduced new features and protections against these issues, bringing the device to a more secure place.
Another significant improvement is the increased volume of the speaker in the AirTag, making it 50% louder than before. This change should provide relief for users who previously experienced frustration when trying to locate their items. While this upgrade won't eliminate all edge cases, it will undoubtedly offer better performance in most situations.
The updated AirTag's design and functionality remain largely unchanged, with its features and price remaining the same as the previous model. The device is now available for order on Apple's website, with a physical release slated to take place later this week. With these improvements, Apple aims to further solidify its position in the tracking device market.
