Where's the AirTag 2?

What do you expect them to do with the AirTag 2?

It's a beeper and location beacon. It has a replaceable CR2032 battery and the device is not much larger than said battery.

What is there to do to it? Pretty much all the features it has are on the iPhone/iCloud software side, the tag itself is literally just a little bluetooth beacon with a speaker in it; there's basically no real need for new hardware.

I think the people most interested in the AirTag 2 (like me) want it for its second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which might give it up to three times the range when using the Find My app on your iPhone to walk around to physically locate one. With the current AirTag, they're not much use when you're trying to find someone you're with (who has an AirTag on their keychain, in their purse, etc.) when they've gone to another part of a store, auditorium, etc., since you have to be fairly close to them before Find My will show an arrow pointing you in the right direction.
