Bluetooth trackers are handy little devices that can help you find things you’ve misplaced. If you’re deep in the Apple ecosystem (or at least have an iPhone), AirTags are perhaps your best choice. If you’ve been meaning to pick some up, there’s some good news for you as a four-pack of AirTags is on sale. The pack has dropped by $20 to $79. That’s close to the lowest price we’ve seen for them, so it’s a solid deal.

It’s easy to set up an AirTag with your iPhone or iPad as it’s a one-tap process. Once you’ve done that and attached an AirTag to an item, you’ll be able to keep track of that alongside your family and friends in the Mind My app. AirTags don’t store location data or history and their communications with the Find My network are encrypted and anonymous, Apple says.

You can play a sound on the AirTag’s built-in speaker to help you find a misplaced item (useful for, say, a remote that’s fallen down the side of a couch), and you can ask Siri for help finding your things. If you have a recent iPhone (11 or later), you’ll be able to make use of a second-gen Ultra Wideband chip that powers precision finding — this will give you pinpoint directions to your AirTag once you’re within range.

If you’ve lost an item away from home, you can put its accompanying AirTag into Lost Mode. This means you’ll be notified whenever it pops up in the Find My network. In other words, when it is picked up by one of the hundreds of millions of Apple devices in the Find My network. The AirTag is a rugged little thing (it’s IP67 water and dust resistant and the replaceable battery lasts over a year), which should give you some time to find your missing item.

To make sure it’s securely fastened to your item, you might want to pick up some AirTag accessories. These enable you to attach an AirTag to various fabrics, keys or anything with a strap. There are also cases with adhesive mounts, meaning you can stick an AirTag to just about anything.
