AirTag 2 vs. AirTag 1: I compared both models and found the winner to not be so obvious

The article reviews Apple’s AirTag 2 (2026), noting a roughly 50% larger Precision Finding range enabled by a newer UWB chip (supported on iPhone 15 or later, excluding 16e) and compatibility with Apple Watch Series 9/Ultra 2 or newer, plus a louder speaker, while retaining the same $29 single/$99 four-pack MSRP. It contrasts these changes with the first-generation AirTag—which is currently discounted ($25 single/$70 four-pack)—and recommends most users stick with AirTag 1 for savings unless they specifically need the improved range and louder audio, framing AirTag 2 as more future‑proof but not an essential upgrade.
