Think of a list of things that really and truly suck to lose — your wallet or handbag and all the cash and credit cards that are contained within, your luggage or carry-on bag when you fly, your car keys, even your car itself. That’s a lot of stuff to keep track of, especially if you’re a forgetful sort. But all of these things and many more are ideal uses for Apple AirTags, which are on sale right now at Amazon. Save 21% on the price of a single AirTag, now just $23, or go big and save 29% on a 4-pack of AirTags for just $70.

Even if you’re not an iPhone user, Apple AirTags are among the very best tracking devices available. And if you are an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook user, AirTags are virtually indispensable because of how accurately they track your missing items and how easily they lead you back to them.
All Your Stuff in One App
There are hundreds or even thousands of ways to attach an AirTag to basically anything you want to keep track of, either direct from Apple or from Amazon. Holders that allow you secure your AirTag to a backpack, purse, keychain and more mean you can use the Find My app on your iPhone or iPad to track as many items as you have AirTags for. Non-Apple users can download Apple’s Tracker Detect app to locate AirTags.
Once you pair your AirTag to your device — and with iOS it’s a one-tap process — you can locate your AirTag with incredible accuracy. Any iPhone from the 11 on has the U1 chip which enables Ultra Wideband mode, which lets you use Precision Finding mode to hunt down the lost item with the AirTag attached. Your phone will let you know if you’re getting hotter or colder, and give you a location down to the foot. The AirTag will also play sounds on command to make your hunt easier.
Where to Use AirTags
That’s actually the wrong question — it should be where not to use them, and there are few if any answers there. Wallets and handbags, car keys, and luggage are the obvious ones. If you’re one of the vast number of people who has a difficult time finding your car in a large parking lot or garage, keep an AirTag in the glove compartment or trunk, and the Find My app will lead you to your wheels. There are special dog and cat collars with AirTag holders should your furry friend get lost. The possibilities, as the saying goes, are endless.
Once you’ve come up with your list of things you would rather not lose, head to Amazon and pick up as many AirTags as you need while they’re on sale. Single AirTags are $23, and 4-packs are $70. Every one of them is worth the price if it can lead you back to a lost valuable just once.
