These devices trade screens for sensors, prioritizing comfort and continuous data over notifications and apps. They are designed to be worn 24/7: even in the shower or to bed—without you noticing them. If you want the…

The biggest changes target the two moments that waste time: When your phone knows the tag is nearby but can’t guide you soon enough, and when you can’t hear it over everyday noise. Apple says the updated tracker improves both its basic locating range and its Precision Finding guidance, and it adds a louder speaker with a new chime.
