Apple's second‑generation AirTag is now available for $89 in a four‑pack on Amazon and Target, a $10 discount that brings the bundle back to its historic low price. Costco offers a related promotion where members receive a fifth AirTag at no extra cost.
The new AirTag incorporates Apple's latest ultra‑wideband (UWB) chip, delivering faster and more reliable Precision Finding through on‑screen arrows and distance read‑outs in the Find My app. The upgraded chip also extends Bluetooth range, making it easier to locate tags in multistory homes. Users with an Apple Watch Series 9 or later can invoke Precision Finding directly from the watch, and the built‑in speaker is louder than the previous version, aiding audible tracking.
Sharing capabilities allow up to five people to monitor the same item, while Apple's Share Item Location feature lets users temporarily share an AirTag's location with airlines such as United, Delta and American. The device retains a replaceable CR2032 battery, avoiding the need to replace the whole unit when power runs out. However, the AirTag still lacks a built‑in lanyard hole, requiring an additional loop or holder for attachment.
The $89 price makes the AirTag more accessible, yet the absence of a built‑in lanyard hole forces buyers to purchase a separate accessory. This extra cost erodes the benefit of the low‑price bundle for users who need a convenient way to attach the tracker.
