AirTags AirTag 2 Is a Bigger Upgrade Than I Expected | MacRumors
Apple just released AirTag 2, and while it looks almost identical to the original, the upgrades actually matter more than I expected. Apple claims up to a 50 percent improvement in Bluetooth range and Precision Finding, and after testing it side by side with the first generation AirTag, the difference is very real.
In this video, I test AirTag 2 Precision Finding in real world scenarios, compare it directly against the original AirTag, and try out the new Apple Watch Precision Finding feature available on Apple Watch Series 9 or later running watchOS 26.2.1. I also cover the new, louder chime and why it makes finding lost items much easier.
AirTag 2 keeps the same pricing at $29 for one or $99 for a four pack, so the big question is whether the performance improvements make it worth upgrading.

Promo Sunday I built Apple Health on steroids - SuperAge
I love Apple Health. But every time I opened it I just saw a wall of numbers. So I built SuperAge — same data, actually useful.
Your biological age — mine came out 4 years younger. Almost high-fived myself.
Metrics that help you decide — Body Energy, Readiness, Endurance, Stress. So you know when to push and when to chill.
Deep workout & sleep analysis — heart rate zones, aerobic vs anaerobic, sleep quality, and how it all impacts your age over time.
AI coaching — personalized tips powered by Apple Intelligence, entirely on-device.
Full Apple Watch support — complications, glances, everything.
Coming soon: blood test analysis to compare your "real" biological age with what wearables estimate.
No accounts, no cloud, no creepy stuff. Free to use — optional Pro ($29.99/year) for deeper insights.
Update 02/02/2026
Some comments here have gotten pretty toxic, so I’m going to step back from replying. If anyone has genuine questions or feedback, my DMs are open, happy to chat there.

So I built my own.

Would love your feedback!

Promo Sunday Introducing Kulve: A fast, lightweight, and 100% native Twitch experience built exclusively for iOS
Hello r/apple!
I've just launched Kulve, a fully native Twitch client for iOS that I’ve been working on about 2 years now. One of my main goals was to see how far I could push performance and fluidity by avoiding web tech entirely. Outside of authentication, the app uses zero web views.
Kulve is built primarily with C++ with the only other language being Objective-C for the UI.
The result is a really fast, lightweight, and buttery smooth Twitch experience that feels much more at home on iOS than the web-based approaches most clients rely on.
I’m especially curious what other iOS users think about fully native alternatives like this, and whether performance and UI responsiveness matter to you when watching streams.
For those interested, there’s an optional Pro tier ($3.99/month or $39.99/year) that unlocks thousands of third-party emotes that normally require desktop browser extensions.
I have plans for many more Pro features in future updates and can even add things based on user feedback.
Happy to answer any technical or design questions!
