Apple has officially launched the AirTag (2nd Generation) in India as of January 26, 2026, bringing major internal upgrades while keeping the familiar compact, circular design. With improved tracking range, louder sound alerts, and stronger privacy protections, the new AirTag is a smart upgrade for users who frequently misplace keys, bags, wallets, or luggage.
Apple AirTag 2nd Gen Price and Availability in India
Apple has slightly increased pricing compared to the original model, reflecting the upgraded hardware:
- Single Pack: ₹3,790
- Four-Pack: ₹12,900
- FineWoven Key Ring Accessories: ₹3,900 (Fox Orange, Midnight Purple, Navy, Moss, Black)
The new AirTag is available now via the Apple India online store and Apple Store app, with physical Apple Store locations in Mumbai (BKC) and Delhi (Saket) and authorized retailers receiving stock later this week. Buyers also get free engraving with emojis, initials, or numbers when ordering directly from Apple.
Key Features and Performance Upgrades
The biggest improvement comes from Apple’s second-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip, which boosts Precision Finding range by up to 50%. This means your iPhone can guide you to misplaced items from farther away using directional arrows and distance indicators.
Apple has also redesigned the internal speaker to be 50% louder, with sound audible from nearly twice the distance, making it easier to locate items hidden under cushions or in noisy environments. A new Bluetooth controller improves early detection within the Find My network, helping your devices “see” the AirTag sooner.
For the first time, users can now use Precision Finding on Apple Watch (Series 9 and later, Ultra 2 and later), with haptic taps and visual cues guiding them to lost items without pulling out their phone.
Enhanced Privacy and Safety Protections
Apple has strengthened its anti-stalking features with a tamper-resistant speaker design, making it harder to disable. Bluetooth identifiers rotate more frequently, and cross-platform alerts now notify both iOS and Android users faster if an unknown AirTag is detected moving with them.
Design, Sustainability, and Battery Life
The AirTag (2nd Gen) keeps the same size and shape, meaning all existing holders and accessories still work. It’s also more eco-friendly, using 85% recycled plastic and 100% recycled gold and tin internally. Battery life remains around one year, powered by a user-replaceable CR2032 coin cell.
With longer tracking range, louder alerts, Apple Watch support, and stronger privacy safeguards, the AirTag (2nd Generation) is a meaningful upgrade for Apple users in India. While the price has increased slightly, the improvements make it one of the most advanced item trackers available in 2026.
