The latest Apple AirTag is finally on sale this Fourth of July weekend. We're currently seeing a $10 discount on the AirTag 4-pack , bringing the bundle's price down to $89 -- that works out to just about $22 per AirTag. If you're looking for a deal on a single AirTag , you can get one for $27, a $2 discount.

The Apple AirTag is arguably the most reliable Bluetooth tracker for iPhone users, one that is natively compatible with iOS. The newest generation features improved precision finding on the iPhone and Apple Watch, covering a larger area than the original AirTag, a 50% louder built-in speaker, and a new chime to make it easier to find. Powered by stronger UWB and Bluetooth chips and a louder speaker, the second-generation AirTag is easier to find than ever.

Instead of GPS, the AirTag uses the iPhone's Find My network to continuously ping its location. The Find My network is created by iPhones spread across the world, where each phone acts as a node. AirTags ping off nearby iPhones, and, considering how popular iPhones have become, the Find My network has grown quite strong.

As an AirTag user, I have one of these trackers on each of my car keys, wallets, and bags, and I'm even planning to add them to my kids' water bottles (what better way to know when they forget them at school or in the car?). There are many other ways to use an AirTag, though. I put them in wristbands and put them on my kids when we go to crowded places or when they're going to be somewhere by themselves.
