Apple fans who keep losing their stuff may want to invest in the Apple AirTag. A four-pack of these Bluetooth trackers is on sale from Amazon for only $79 as part of the early offers for its Prime Big Deal Days, for savings of $20 on the bundle’s original price of $99. We’re not sure if this bargain will still be available upon the launch of the shopping event, which will officially run from Oct. 8 to Oct. 9, so if you want to make sure that you get these tracking devices for cheaper than usual, we highly recommend taking advantage of this gem from today’s Apple deals.

Why you should buy the Apple AirTag

The small and portable Apple AirTag may prove to be a lifesaver for some Apple users — if you’ve got it attached to an item, you can use Apple’s Find My app to determine where it is, and you can even play a sound on its built-in speaker. Setting it up is easy, as all it takes is one tap to connect it to your iPhone or iPad. Within Bluetooth range of 30 feet, Precision Finding with its U1 chip gives an accurate location to within inches, so you’ll easily find that remote control that fell behind the couch or the keys that found their way to an unusual spot, for example.

The Apple AirTag is often compared with the Bluetooth trackers of Tile, so we highlighted the differences in our Apple AirTag versus Tile Tags comparison. While the Apple AirTag only works with the iPhone and iPad, its primary advantage is that it uses Apple’s Find My network to communicate with every other Apple device in the wild to send you its location, for much more effective tracking over longer distances.

The Apple AirTag will do wonders for the protection of your important things and for your peace mind. It’s currently lighter on the wallet too, with a four-pack of the Bluetooth trackers available for just $79 from Amazon’s early offers for its Prime Big Deal Days. There’s no telling how long you’ve got to enjoy the $20 discount on the bundle’s sticker price of $99 though, as it’s possible that the stocks that are up for sale are already gone by the time the shopping event starts. If you want to get this four-pack of the Apple AirTag for cheaper than usual, you should buy it now.

An Apple Watch SE 2 next to an Apple Watch Series 9.

If you've been searching for Labor Day smartwatch deals, you may be surprised to find that some of the best deals on an Apple Watch are coming from Target. Right now, you can save $50 on an Apple Watch SE 2 or $130 on an Apple Watch Series 9. That puts them as low as $200 and $270, respectively, depending on configurations. Tap the button below to go check out the watches yourself or keep on reading to see which watch is right for you and how to shop the sale effectively.

How to choose the right Apple Watch deal at Target
The first thing you need to do is pick your watch. Luckily, we have an extensive guide comparing the Apple Watch SE 2 and Apple Watch 9. To boil down something complex, the Apple Watch 9 is the technically better watch but if you aren't a power user, you might prefer the SE 2, which is cheaper. The Apple Watch 9 has 2,000 nits of brightness to the SE 2's 1,000, for example, making it easier to see in sunlight. It also has a low power mode that can essentially double its battery life. You'll also get a whole host of extra sensors on the Apple Watch 9 for more robust health monitoring, though nothing essential is "missing" from the SE 2. Be sure to check out our Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch SE 2 reviews for a view of our lived experiences with the devices.
