Apple’s AirTags have changed the way I travel. I no longer worry about losing my belongings because one AirTag always stays in my backpack and one lives in my luggage. The moment I leave my backpack behind anywhere, I get a notification that reminds me to retrieve it; when I land, I do a quick check to confirm that my luggage has also arrived. If you’re in the market for a great Bluetooth tracker to use with your iPhone, the AirTags are hard to beat—and the four-pack is almost 35% off during the October Prime Day sale. That matches its lowest ever price with a $40 discount over the list price.
If you do need four AirTags (or can split the purchase with a friend), this discount brings the cost down to nearly $16 per unit—that’s $4 less than the current deal price of $20 for a single AirTag (which is a dollar above its all-time low price).
Once you buy an AirTag, check out all their hidden features to get the most out of it . Even though it may sound tempting, you should avoid using AirTags to track your kids —it won’t give you real-time updates on a person’s location, so it’s best used in cases where you don’t need that feature.
