Will The New AirTag 2 Be Better than Pebblebee Clip Universal?
Short answer is probably not – at least in 7 aspects.
Apple is rumored to release AirTag 2, four years after launching the original. The upcoming model is expected to feature an improved Ultra Wideband chip for extended range, deeper integration with Apple Vision Pro, and an updated speaker design aimed at enhancing safety.
These are meaningful updates, and it’s always exciting to see new advancements in item-finding technology. Apple’s commitment to this space reinforces just how essential these devices have become.
That said, AirTag 2 will still be limited to Apple’s ecosystem—and in many key areas, Pebblebee remains ahead. Let’s take a closer look.
1. Pebblebee Goes Further
A bluetooth tracker is only useful if it helps you find what you’ve lost. Range plays a critical role in that.
-
AirTag (current): ~100 feet
-
AirTag 2 (rumored): ~200 feet
-
Pebblebee Clip: 500 feet
That’s up to five times the range of the original AirTag and still significantly further than what’s expected from AirTag 2. When it comes to quickly locating important items, that extra range matters.
2. The Right Tracker for Every Lifestyle
Apple offers one form factor. It’s a fine product, but depending on how you plan to use it, it may not be the best fit for every scenario.
Pebblebee offers trackers designed for different needs:
-
Pebblebee Clip – A sturdy, built-in clip for keys, backpacks, and luggage.
-
Pebblebee Card – Ultra-thin for wallets, passports, and ID holders.
-
Pebblebee Tag – Compact and ultra light for remotes, drones, glasses case and more.
Because no two people use item finders in exactly the same way, Pebblebee ensures you have the right item finder for the job.
3. AirTag Keeps You In One Ecosystem, Pebblebee Gives You Choice
AirTags are designed to work exclusively with Apple devices. For those deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem, that works fine.
But the world isn’t one-size-fits-all. Pebblebee is the only premium tracker that gives you the choice between Apple Find My and Google's Find My Device.
That means you’re not locked in. Whether you use an iPhone, an Android, or both, your Pebblebee product works seamlessly.
4. Rechargeable Means Both Less Waste & Less Hassle
Each year millions of dead AirTag batteries go to landfills. AirTags rely on replaceable CR2032 coin-cell batteries. They work, but they also require ongoing replacements, create waste, and can run out at inconvenient times.
Pebblebee’s approach is different. Our trackers are rechargeable, lasting up to 18 months per charge.
-
No battery swaps
-
No extra purchases over time
-
No unnecessary waste
It’s better for the user—and better for the planet.
5. Ready To Use - No Extra Accessories Needed
With an AirTag, you often need to buy an additional keychain or holder to attach it to your items. With Pebblebee, everything you need is included for the form factor you choose. Just unbox it, attach it, and get on with your day.
6. Smarter Tracking with A Louder Sound & LED Lights
One of the most overlooked frustrations with tracking devices? Low visibility.
Pebblebee trackers include built-in LEDs, making it easier to find lost items in dimly lit areas. Pair that with a louder sound, and finding misplaced belongings becomes even simpler.
7. Moving Faster & Driving the Industry Forward
Apple has spent four years developing AirTag 2. That’s the pace of a company with many priorities and a long product roadmap.
In that same time, Pebblebee has launched 8 new products.
We move quickly, listen to our users, and continuously innovate—because people rely on their item finders every day. Waiting four years for small improvements isn’t an option.
Apple makes great products. But for Pebblebee, tracking technology is what we do. Every day.
Apple’s investment in the item finder space is exciting. Their technology is impressive, and their updates will undoubtedly improve the AirTag experience.
But when comparing features, Pebblebee still leads in key areas:
✔️ Works with Apple Find My for iOS users or Google's Find My Device for Android users
✔️ Built-in protections against unwanted tracking on both Apple and Android networks
✔️ Rechargeable (up to 18 months per charge)
✔️ 500-foot range – 5x more than AirTag 1 and over 2x more than the rumored AirTag 2
✔️ Form factors for different lifestyles (Clip, Card, Tag)
✔️ Accessories included—no extra purchases needed
✔️ LED + stronger signal for better tracking
Apple’s approach to AirTag is a good one. Ours is different. We focus on flexibility, sustainability, and real-world usability.
At the end of the day, the best tracker is the one that works the way you need it to. And for more people, more of the time—that’s Pebblebee.
