The second-generation AirTag has a few big changes to go with its improved features, with Apple slimming down the motherboard and changing some of the markings used in the new tracker accessory.

Apple updated the AirTag on January 26, with a new version improving some important features, such as an increased distance for finding it with Ultra Wideband to 200 feet. Two days later, one of the first teardowns has revealed what Apple has changed in the compact device for its second release.
The teardown, posted to YouTube by Joseph Taylor late on Tuesday, reveals there are very few externally visible changes to the new AirTag. It uses exactly the same case design as before, both in shape and size, and it still uses a standard CR2032 coin cell as a battery.
