There are plenty of folks out there who’d prefer a practical gift to an offbeat one this holiday season. Apple’s AirTags are handy little devices that could help you find and recover lost items, and so they make for great holiday gifts (as long as your intended recipient is an iPhone user). Now is a good time to pick up a few AirTags as a pack of four is on sale for $80. That’s $19 off the regular price and it matches a deal we saw during the Black Friday period.
The AirTag is our pick for the best Bluetooth tracker for iPhones as it taps into Apple’s global Find My network. After you pair an AirTag with an iPhone or iPad, you’ll be able to find it as long as it’s within range of another Apple device. Otherwise, you’ll be able to view the AirTag’s last known location to give you a starting point.
If you put the AirTag into Lost Mode, you’ll receive a notification as soon as the tracker appears on the Find My network. Folks with an iPhone 11 or later will have ultra-wideband support on their device. That means they can harness the Find Nearby feature, which can guide them to the exact location of the AirTag once they’re within a certain range without having to set off the device’s ringer. As you get close to the tracker, your phone will start to vibrate.
In addition, the AirTag is a robust little thing as it’s water- and dust-resistant. You won’t have to be too concerned about the battery either, as it only needs to be replaced roughly once a year. Meanwhile, you might want to consider picking up an AirTag accessory such as a case or holder to secure the tracker.
