Overview
- Amazon has dropped the original AirTag to $17 for a single and $64 for a four‑pack, up to 41% off and described as all‑time lows by multiple outlets.
- Apple’s second‑generation AirTag is newly available at the same $29/$99 list prices as the original, with no notable discounts tracked yet.
- The new model adds an updated Ultra Wideband chip for longer‑range Precision Finding, a louder speaker, and support for Precision Finding on Apple Watch.
- Apple Watch Precision Finding requires a Series 9 or Ultra 2 running watchOS 26.2.1, and AirTag 2 itself requires iOS or iPadOS 26 on a compatible device.
- Both generations retain a user‑replaceable CR2032 battery with roughly one‑year life, IP67 durability, and near‑identical design, prompting many reviewers to recommend the discounted first‑gen for most shoppers.
