If you’ve ever done the “quiet house, frantic pockets” routine for your keys, Apple’s newest AirTag refresh is made for that exact moment, Latest News in India. It looks the same, works with the same accessories, and still lives inside the Find My app. The difference is what you notice in real life: it’s easier to hear, and it guides you from farther away.
Apple says the speaker is 50% louder, with a new chime that cuts through background noise. Pricing stays at $29 (or $99 for four), so it’s a practical upgrade rather than a reinvention.
What’s Actually New
Range is the headline. A newer Ultra Wideband chip pushes Precision Finding to work from up to 50% farther away, and a stronger Bluetooth radio helps in that messy middle zone before Precision Finding even kicks in.
The best quality-of-life change is wrist support: Precision Finding now works on Apple Watch Series 9/Ultra 2 and later, so you can track down a bag without pulling out your phone every two seconds.
How To Make It Easier To Hear At Home
In Find My, tap your AirTag and hit Play Sound, then pause and listen between steps. With the louder speaker, you can “catch” the chime sooner, even if it’s under a throw blanket or wedged behind a sofa leg.
Travel Trick: Share Item Location When Luggage Goes Missing
This launch is also riding the travel reality: delayed bags. Apple’s Share Item Location lets you generate a secure link so airline teams can see the AirTag location you’re seeing. Apple says 36 airlines support it, with more joining. For a quick social recap from an official news handle, here’s 9to5Mac’s X post on the new AirTag.
