COOL HUNTING® - Bags + Travel Gear

Cool Hunting: AirTag AirTag Apple’s new AirTag looks identical to the original, but nearly everything that matters has been upgraded. Powered by Apple’s second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, the latest model extends Precision Finding range by up to 50 percent, adds a significantly further Bluetooth detection range and introduces a speaker that’s 50 percent louder, making misplaced items easier to locate by sound alone. For the first time, Precision Finding also works directly from Apple Watch Series 9 and later, bringing haptic guidance to the wrist. Despite the internal overhaul, pricing remains unchanged at $29 for a single tag or $99 for a four-pack.

Side by side, the only way to tell the new AirTag from the original is a subtle detail on the stainless steel back: the etched text appears in ALL CAPS on the new model, while the previous generation uses Title Case.
