Teardown Reveals AirTag 2 Is Full of Hidden Changes

Apple's second-generation AirTag looks nearly identical to the original but features significant internal redesigns revealed through a detailed teardown. The new model includes a thinner main circuit board with repositioned battery connectors, a larger speaker coil that produces a higher-pitched sound, and increased use of adhesive that makes tampering more difficult. Despite maintaining the same external appearance and CR2032 battery, these internal changes suggest Apple focused on improving manufacturing processes and potentially deterring modifications while enhancing audio performance.
