Bluetooth item trackers have never been as popular as they are right now. We learned as much in a report last year, which showed that Bluetooth tracker sales have been soaring latest. Needless to say, the recent sales boom is thanks largely to the popularity of Apple AirTag Bluetooth item trackers.
AirTags integrate seamlessly with your iPhone or iPad, allowing you to quickly locate lost items using the Find My app that comes preinstalled on any of Apple’s mobile devices. And despite the fact that they rarely get discounts, Apple AirTag tracker 4-packs are currently on sale for just $79 at Amazon and Walmart.
The current sale beats the deal we saw last year during Amazon’s big Prime Day blowout, matching the Black Friday sales from ahead of the holidays. The current sale drops your price to just $19.75 per AirTag, which is an all-time low.
Of note, this deal on Apple AirTag trackers is available at both Amazon and Walmart. But the price at Walmart has been bouncing between $79 and $84.99. Meanwhile, Amazon has held steady at $79, so that might be your best bet.
For those unfamiliar with how AirTags work, it’s actually pretty brilliant.
AirTag Bluetooth trackers basically use all of the iPhones around them as antennas. Even if you don’t have an AirTag yourself, your iPhone is still part of a global AirTag tracking network.
Apple’s AirTags constantly ping any iPhones within Bluetooth range and use them to transmit the location. It’s completely anonymous and encrypted, so you don’t have to worry about security. Then, whenever the AirTag owner wants, he or she can check the AirTag’s location using the Find My app.
Apple’s wildly popular Bluetooth item trackers never go on sale directly from Apple Stores. That should go without saying, of course, since Apple never discounts anything. At Apple’s partner retailers, however, you can occasionally find a sale that slashes the price of Apple AirTag Bluetooth trackers.
Right now, one of these rare opportunities just presented itself. Amazon is offering AirTag Bluetooth item tracker 4-packs for $79 instead of $99. That’s a 20% discount that cuts your cost to $19.75 per AirTag.
Individual AirTags retail for $29 each. 1-packs also have been on sale lately, and the current deal drops your price to $24. That’s obviously a bit more expensive than the deal on 4-packs, but not everyone needs so many AirTag trackers. If you’re only looking for one or two, then the 1-pack deal is a better option for you.
If you’re an Android user, or if you just don’t want to be locked into Apple’s ecosystem, there are a few good alternatives. The obvious leader among them is Tile, and a few different Tile tracker models were on sale recently.
The Tile Pro still has a discount right now, and the Tile Mate currently costs even less while it’s on sale.
