Between work, relationships, and daily responsibilities, life can get pretty hectic. Amid the chaos, it can be all too easy to start losing track of things — like your keys. Like many of us, you may have found yourself frantically flipping couch cushions from time to time, desperately searching for your lost car keys. But were you aware of the technological solution to this problem? With the Tile Mate key finder, you can actually call your keys or locate them on a map using your smartphone. And now you can even pick one up for a discounted price during the Tile Mate Valentine’s Day sale.

If you’re someone who has never lost your keys, phone, or wallet, then kudos to you for being hyper-aware of all your things. However, if you’re someone who has lost one or all of those things, then you should seriously consider the benefits of such a device. The Tile Mate is lightweight, slim, and can be easily placed on a key ring or in a wallet. You can connect it to your phone via Bluetooth connection and use the Tile app to ring your keys or wallet whenever you need a little extra assistance finding them. Alternatively, if you lose your phone, just press the Tile twice to make your phone ring — even if it’s on silent. You can even log into a website to find your missing belongings if you’ve managed to lose all of them at once.

These key finders are a great product to buy for yourself, but they also make for a great gift for your loved ones. With the Tile Mate Valentine’s Day sale going on right now, you can even save up to $90 on a pack of trackers — or a tracker pack if you will. Below are all of the discounts available during this sale:

This key finder isn’t compatible with all mobile devices, but so long as you aren’t using a really old smartphone, you should be fine. It can sync with any iPhone, iPad,  Apple Watch, Google Pixel, or Samsung Galaxy that runs on iOS 11, Android 6.0, or a newer operating system. With a range of 150 feet, you just need to make sure you don’t stray too far from your items when using the ring locater. It also comes with a guaranteed 1 year of battery life, so you’ll only need to replace the coin-cell battery once every 365 days.

You can fix your own iPhone screen, but you may not want to

Apple surprised us last year when it announced a new self-service repair program to allow iPhone owners to replace their own broken screens, aging batteries, and other key components.

That program finally launched last month, although, at this point, it’s limited to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 families. Nevertheless, if you’re thinking that this may finally let you fix your own screen, you might want to take a closer look at the various other service options available. Apple’s new Self Service Repair program isn’t for the faint of either heart or wallet.
How much does Apple charge to replace a screen?
Unless you have AppleCare+ (more on that later), you’ll need to shell out between $229 and $329 to have your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 screen professionally replaced at an Apple Store. The exact amount depends on whether you own an iPhone 12 Mini or an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Apple has finally been cleared to allow its Wallet ID functions to be used for driver's licenses and state IDs. The state of Arizona now accepts both forms of documentation as legitimate when displayed in the Wallet app on iPhones and Apple Watches, Apple announced today.

By adding the proper documentation to their Wallet, users will be able to effortlessly get through select TSA security checkpoints by simply tapping their iPhone or Apple watch on marked identity readers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The tech hasn't made its way to all Arizona airports yet, but Apple has made it clear that it's looking to expand the reach of its Wallet's digital IDs as legitimate documentation.

What you can (and can’t) do on your Apple Watch without your iPhone
Apple Watch Series 7 in a pocket.

The Apple Watch has seen enormous success. In fact, it’s the most popular item in Apple’s quickly expanding Wearables, Home, and Accessories division, which also includes Apple AirPods.

Since the Apple Watch was released in 2015, the smartwatch has gone through a number of makeovers and gained several new features. People love the Apple Watch for its durability, water resistance, and fitness-tracking abilities. Early versions of the watch could measure your activity levels, heart rate, and several other health metrics. Later versions even come with tools like ECGs (electrocardiograms) that can tell you when your heartbeat is abnormal and oximeters that can measure your blood oxygen levels.
