Key Points:

Apple has announced the second-generation AirTag, featuring major improvements while maintaining the same physical size as the original model, ensuring compatibility with existing accessories.
A key upgrade for Apple Watch users is the addition of Precision Finding support, available on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 or later, which provides haptic, visual, and audio feedback to precisely locate an AirTag.
The new AirTag continues to use the CR2032 coin battery with a battery life of over one year, unchanged from the previous generation.
AirTag 2 is available for purchase now, with pricing remaining at $20 for a single unit and $99 for a four-pack.
