I don't go a day without my Apple AirTags. Birthdays? I can remember those. My keys? Not a chance. Before getting these little trackers, I was tearing apart couch cushions like a detective on a deadline. Now I just open the Find My app and follow the signal — done. If you're squeezing in one last summer trip, toss one in your luggage. Lost bags = ruined vacation. Right now, Amazon has a four-pack for just $70 ahead of Labor Day — one of the lowest prices we've seen.
If it's within 30 feet, your iPhone will locate it, right down to the centimeter. If it's farther afield, Apple's Find My network should help you pinpoint it.
Why is this a good Labor Day deal? 💰
AirTags go on sale from time to time, but the four-pack doesn't often dip lower than this — we've only seen it beat this price by $5 (the last time was during summer Prime Day). A single AirTag typically sells for $29 (right now, you can snag one for just $23), but this multipack deal drops the cost to $17.50 per tracker. Buying in bulk really does save money, and not just when it comes to toilet paper.
Why do I need this? 🤔
These quarter-size Bluetooth trackers are perfect for attaching to your keys, tossing in your suitcase or even stashing on your bike. And when something inevitably goes MIA, your iPhone becomes your own spy gadget, helping you zero in on it like it came from Q himself.
If an AirTag is within about 30 feet, your iPhone will help you locate it via an onscreen arrow. If it's outside of that range, Apple's Find My network kicks in. Any other iPhone that comes within range of your AirTag will help you pinpoint its location. That's incredibly powerful ... and kind of mind-blowing.
Each AirTag comes with a replaceable battery that's good for up to one year. Pairing a tracker with your phone is as simple as bringing it close and performing a few setup taps.
Take note that Apple doesn't provide any kind of case or clip, meaning if you do want to attach one to something (like a keychain), you'll need to buy an accessory. Amazon is home to a wide assortment of AirTag holders, most of them pretty inexpensive.
Look how smart Alan is! He had the foresight to track his house keys with an Apple AirTag. Now he won't have to crash at a crappy hotel tonight. Be smart. Be like Alan. (Amazon)
What reviewers say 💬
Over 25,500 five-star shoppers rely on these quarter-size gadgets to keep track of their stuff.
Pros 👍
"Put these in your luggage when traveling," wrote a confident globe-trotter. "I felt better checking my bags when flying, knowing I had a way to track my luggage to make sure it was with me and going to where I was. It was very accurate. When in Paris, it could tell me where my bag was at in a specific baggage claim. It's also really easy to set up."
"What took me so long to get Apple AirTags?" another buyer lamented. "I recently took a golf trip and was shipping my golf clubs with ShipSticks. I purchased this four-pack of AirTags and was able to insert one AirTag into my golf bag. I could then track my golf clubs in transit and knew when they arrived at the destination club. I've also put them into my checked luggage and [on my] car keys."
This dutiful adult put them to work for their parents. "My elderly mother is constantly asking me to help her find things like her wallet, so I thought, why not use an AirTag? It's small enough that it's not bothersome or noticeable, and it saves us the headache of locating it."
AirTags are becoming popular with pet parents too: "We have a cat who was not good about staying close to home and kept getting locked in under houses," said one. "Now we can always find her. Even if we are in another country, we can check on her and see where she is. Fortunately, the answer is always the same now. On the sofa."
Cons 👎
A tech-savvy shopper offered a caveat: "The only downside is that if you want an accurate location on where your AirTag is, you need to have a newer iPhone that shows you directions and how many feet away you are from your AirTag. My iPhone is not new, and it just gives me a general area where it is."
And keep in mind: AirTags don't work like many other trackers. "A downside to these is that you can't press a button to find your phone like with the Tile," an in-the-know reviewer said.
Whether you're worried about losing your luggage, your keys or your bike, these quarter-size trackers offer peace of mind by keeping tabs on your valuables so you can find them right away.
Not sold on another Apple product? You can nab a four-pack of Tile trackers for even less.
A clever feature Tiles boast over AirTags? You can press the tracker to make your lost phone ring even when it's on silent — pretty helpful.
