Apple AirTag (2nd Generation) 4-pack

The AirTag (2nd generation) four-pack is Apple's tracker bundle for keys, kit bags, laptops and demo units. The U2 chip extends Precision Finding range by about 1.5x over the original, and the four-pack is the SKU a business actually buys. The one thing to know: it requires an iPhone or iPad and Apple's Find My network.

Do AirTags make sense for a small business?

• Apple's list price is $99 (Apple, Sep 2026) for the 4-pack; a single AirTag 2 is $29.
• Precision Finding guides you to the tag with an on-screen arrow on recent iPhones.
• CR2032 coin cell, user-replaceable, no rechargeable option.
• Apple's anti-stalking alerts mean they are for objects, not for tracking people or staff.

Older first-generation packs and refurbished bundles sit alongside this one in search results, so check for the second-generation label. It features in our 10-person office tech kit and the iPhone 17 vs Galaxy S26 Ultra guide; more in everyday tech.

Who should skip it

Android-only teams get nothing from AirTags and should use Google Find Hub trackers. Anyone wanting to track vehicles or staff needs a GPS tracker, not a Bluetooth tag.

What reviewers say

• Engadget scored the second-generation AirTag 94/100: its Precision Finding "getting closer" screen appeared at roughly 80 feet against 30 to 40 feet on the original, and the speaker is markedly louder. (Engadget, Feb 2026)
• Macworld gave an Editors' Choice, measuring the speaker at 85 dB against 66 dB for the first generation, and noted the redesigned board makes removing the speaker harder for would-be stalkers; it requires iOS 26.2.1. (Macworld, Feb 2026)
• Tom's Guide awarded an Editor's Choice and called it "the most findable tracker I've tested", crediting the new Ultra Wideband chip. (Tom's Guide, Feb 2026)

Consensus: All three agree the upgrade is range and loudness rather than design, and that there is still no keyring hole and no rechargeable battery. Nobody disputes that Android-only teams get nothing from it.
