The second-generation AirTag is the tracker most iPhone owners reach for, at $29 each or $99 for four. Apple lists an IP67 rating, 11.8 g, a CR2032 you can swap yourself, "more than a year" on a battery, and an Ultra Wideband chip for precision finding. It does not publish a Bluetooth range or a decibel figure, and it finds only through Apple Find My. Few trackers list below it - the ones here all do.

How this page was scored
Item trackers are cheap and look alike; what separates them is which phone network will find them when they are out of Bluetooth range - Apple Find My, Google Find Hub, or the maker's own - and then the details a maker prints on the box: how long the battery lasts, whether you can swap it, how far the Bluetooth reaches, how loud the ring is, and how much water it is rated to survive.
Specs are weighted by how much they matter for a item tracker. An alternative earns full credit for matching or beating the AirTag (2nd gen) on a spec, a proportional share where it falls short, and half credit for a spec its maker does not list. Models that list too few specs to compare fairly are left off. Read the full method.
Savings use maker or named-retailer list prices on the date shown. Amazon prices, where shown, are labelled with the time they were fetched. Spotted an error? Tell us.
Rankings are computed, never soldOrder comes out of the DupeScore calculation. There is no sponsored slot, no pay-to-appear, and no brand has ever been given a say in where it lands.
Every number links to its sourceEach spec comes from the sheet the maker published, linked on the page, with the date the price was checked next to it.
We say what we do not knowA spec a maker never published is shown as not listed and scored at half credit. Nothing is estimated, guessed or filled in to make a table look complete.
