It’s been a long time coming, but the AirTag 2 finally launched this week with improved Precision Finding, a longer Bluetooth range, and a louder speaker. It’s otherwise almost exactly the same as its predecessor, but one more difference has been found, and you may want to take note …
Early buyer Karagana note-iced that the audible alert tone was gone up a note.
The chime has changed from the note “F” to the note “G”.
Macworld’s David Price confirmed this.
Being away from my piano, I verified this using Virtual Piano.) The rhythm and tempo of the chime remain the same: a little flourish, followed by three sets of seven notes. You can clearly hear the higher pitch in the recording, but the increased power of the speaker is not really discernible
Within this range, most people will find the new note easier to hear than the previous one over a longer distance, although the difference is small.
You can hear the difference for yourself in the video below.
