Few things are as annoying as misplacing your phone or wallet, especially if you’re in a rush to leave the house. Our travel fear, meantime? Losing your luggage at the airport. But the days of digging under couches and searching for bags and jackets are over, thanks to Apple’s AirTag tracking devices.
More from Rolling Stone
The popular coin-sized trackers are on sale on Amazon right now for just $79.99 (for a four-pack), bringing the price of each individual AirTag down to under $20 each. Compare that to Apple.com, where AirTags start at $29 for a single tracker, and you’re basically saving yourself a decent amount of dough.

Amazon also has the individual AirTags on sale for $24 (normally $29), but the trick to scoring the biggest AirTags discount is to pick up the four pack for $79.99. That brings the price of each AirTag down to just $20, which is the cheapest price we’ve seen since the spring.
AirTags are quickly becoming a must-have accessory to help people keep track of their stuff, especially when commuting or traveling. The portable trackers measure just over an inch in diameter and weigh just 11 grams, making them super lightweight and easy to hide. They’re an essential travel accessory to help track your bags after checking them in, and they’re great for students who are prone to misplacing their backpacks or laptop cases too.
Don’t just take our word for it though: Amazon says more than 10,000 people have purchased AirTags in the last month alone, with almost 90% of shoppers giving the trackers a full, five-star review.

Tracking your items with AirTags is simple: the AirTags use Ultra Wideband technology to quickly identify and find your items nearby. If your items are further away, the AirTags tap into Apple’s “Find My” network, which many people already use for the “Find My Phone” feature. Simply connect to the “Find My” app on your phone or tablet, pair the app with your AirTag and instantly see where you stuff is. Apple says all communication with the network is anonymous and encrypted for privacy, and your location data and history are never stored on the AirTag or Cloud.
Each AirTag comes with a replaceable battery that lasts for more than a year, and the trackers are rated IP67 for dust and water-resistance too (they can be under up to a meter of water for 30 minutes or less without damage or losing connectivity).
Aside from travel, we stick AirTags on everything from our everyday carry (think wallets, keys, phone, etc.) to our coats and jackets. You can even attach an AirTag to a pet collar, to keep track of your furry friends. While we simply put an AirTag in our bags and clothing, you can also grab an AirTag holder or keychain to keep the tiny devices more secure.
Apple products almost never go on sale and the AirTags have not been marked down since they launched last spring. As of this writing, the AirTags price is still $29 on Apple.com and a four-pack would cost almost $120. This AirTag sale on Amazon brings the four-pack down to just $79.99.
Amazon’s best AirTag deal sold out quickly last year, and this sale won’t last long so we recommend adding to cart soon. See full details here.
