AirTags are still the piece of tech I get the most questions about from family and friends, so in this video I unbox and test the new AirTag Gen 2 in real life—aka I made my husband hide one at a shopping center and I went full “I forgot my purse at the coffee shop” mode. I walk through the two stages of finding something: first you get that approximate pin-drop location on the map, and then once you’re close enough, precision finding kicks in. On Gen 2, that precision finding range is now up to 150 feet (50% more than before), and you get the arrow + exact distance so you can literally walk to it. I also clear up the biggest misconception: AirTags are not GPS trackers. They don’t connect to satellites or have their own internet—they rely on the Find My network, which is basically a crowdsourced system where nearby Apple devices anonymously relay the AirTag’s location back to you. That’s why AirTags are amazing for stationary lost items (coffee shop, airport, office) and not as reliable in remote areas with no iPhones around. Then I cover the Gen 2 upgrades (louder speaker, better Bluetooth range, Apple Watch precision finding, iOS 26 requirement), plus the anti-stalking/anti-theft reality check: Apple prioritizes anti-stalking, so AirTags aren’t a “perfect anti-theft tracker.” And yes, buy extra batteries—because time be moving and your AirTag will die right when you need it.
