Do you have a tendency to misplace or forget your items? I certainly do, and I know I’m not the only one. Thankfully, I primarily use Apple products, like the iPhone 16 Pro, and Apple has its own item tracker. It’s the Apple AirTag, and you can grab a four-pack for cheap this Black Friday, as Amazon has it for $73, down from the usual $99 price.

AirTags are small and discreet pucks that can fit pretty much anywhere. In your purse, wallet, luggage, jacket, or whatever else. You can even put them on your keys, but you need an AirTag holder for that. There are plenty of AirTag accessories on the market, so whatever style you’re looking for, you’ll probably find something that matches your style and personality for your keys.

Setting up an AirTag is easy. You just pull the plastic tab off, and it will automatically pair with your iPhone or iPad. Give it a name and an icon for easy recognition, and you’re good to go!

With AirTags, you can keep track of multiple items in the Find My app on iOS 18, along with your devices and friends. When you can’t find something, launch the app and it will show you where the item is by utilizing the Find My network of millions of Apple devices. You can even play a sound from the AirTag to help you locate the item when you’re near, and with Precision Finding (from the iPhone 11 and later), you can get real-time directions to your item.

I have many AirTags for my bags, luggage, keys, wallets, strollers, diaper bags, car, and more. They’re unbelievably convenient, and with a price this good, there’s no reason you shouldn’t stock up on a bunch of them — especially if you constantly misplace things like me.

How to preorder the AirPods 4: best deals so far
The AirPods 4.

We will continue to update this page as new offers become available.

There were a few new big announcements at Apple’s iPhone 16 event; one of the biggest is the new AirPods 4. They have new H2 chips with a lot of powerful features, including things like personalized spatial audio, better highs and bass performance, and a USB-C case that's probably one of the smallest we've seen yet. Interestingly enough, Apple is also releasing two versions of the AirPods 4, one with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and one without, which is new and not something we tend to see on open-back designs like these. Of course, you also get new adaptive mode and transparency features as well.

Samsung fans who have the unfortunate habit of misplacing things may want to buy the Samsung SmartTag2, which is the brand's counterpart to the Bluetooth trackers of Tile and the Apple AirTag. They're currently on sale from Amazon's Woot, with a package of four going for only $65 following a $35 discount on the bundle's original price of $100. The offer may sell out at any moment though, so you're going to have to hurry in completing your transaction if you want to pocket the savings from this purchase.

For those who are always forgetting where they placed their keys, losing their remote control around the living room, dropping valuables during your commute, or similar situations, your problems will be solved with the Samsung SmartTag2. You'll just have to attach them to the object that you want to track and register the device -- then you'll be able to look for it using the SmartThings Find app. The Search Nearby command will give you guided instructions in locating the Bluetooth tracker with Compass View, and you can also make it ring to help you find it. When you activate Lost Mode, whoever finds the device and your item will be able to use their smartphone to access your contact information through NFC technology.
