Apple on Monday unveiled the second-generation AirTag.

The new AirTag is still powered by a coin cell battery and comes with an IP67-rated build.

The price of the Apple Second-Generation AirTag in India is set at Rs. 3,790 for a single unit. It is also available as a four-pack, priced at Rs. 12,900. Customers can avail of free engraving when purchasing the new AirTag via Apple.com and the Apple Store app.

Apple Second-Generation AirTag Features, Specifications

The new AirTag brings several refinements focused on improving how users locate misplaced items using Apple's Find My network, while maintaining the same compact form factor of the first-generation model. The Bluetooth tracker has a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which is claimed to boost its Precision Finding range by up to 50 percent and help users more accurately locate items.

Apple Sees Record Growth in iPhone Shipments in India

The Bluetooth chip has been upgraded to expand the overall connectivity range. As per the Cupertino-based tech giant, users can now use Precision Finding on Apple Watch Series 9 or later and Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later models, to find their AirTag.

The second-generation AirTag also features an updated internal design with a new speaker that is 50 percent louder than the old AirTag. The company claims users can now hear their AirTg up to twice as far as before.

It can also work with the iPhone's Share Item Location feature, which is used to help users recover a misplaced item by temporarily and securely sharing its location with trusted third parties, such as airlines. The location data, however, is claimed to be kept private, and the AirTag does not physically store location data or history on-device.
