AirTags just hit the lowest price ever: 4-packs are $60, or $15 each. The GH Institute-tested tracker is ideal for travelers or anyone prone to losing things.
You may have seen me singing the praises of the second-generation AirTag as one of my favorite travel gadgets. Still, there's just one tiny little problem with the brand-spankin' new model: it's pricey, especially compared to its predecessor.
Right now, the first-generation, quadruple-pack AirTag is down to its lowest price I've ever seen during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale happening right now through March 31—and it’s still a highly capable tracker. As a professional dealstracker of six years, I can tell you that this incredible sale won't last long.Before you shell out $60, here's what you need to know about the first-generation AirTag—and why its earned a spot on many editors’ packing lists.Why we love the OG AirTagIt is the best gadget for finding your keys, particularly for iPhone users, because it’s quick and easy to set up and seamlessly integrates with Apple’s Find My network for real-time tracking. Just don't forget to buy Apple's Key Ring to secure your AirTag to your keys.Of course, keys aren't the only use case for the AirTag. GH Institute's Olivia Lipski, senior reviews writer and analyst, commended the OG AirTag in her review for helping her track down luggage left behind in Paris.In her tracking process, the AirTag sent out Bluetooth signals and tapped into Apple's global FindMy network. 'The device that detected my AirTag then sent out the location of my AirTag to iCloud so I could see it on the map within the app,' Lipski said. 'Though I wasn't happy about the situation, I was relieved to at least have a general idea of where my belongings were so I could go ahead and notify the airline.'If you're within closer range of your misplaced item, you can use Precision Finding in the FindMy app. This feature lets you play 'hot and cold,' using on-screen arrows, distance cues, and haptic feedback to find your lost possession.How the AirTag 2 compares to the originalThe four-pack of AirTag 2 is $40 more than that of four original AirTags. What's the main difference between the first- and seceond-generation? The new one comes with an extended range for Precision Finding. I experimented with both the OG AirTag and AirTag 2; the latter showed a 74% improvement in finding range, expanding from about 22 yards to roughly 115 feet.Twenty-two yards is already impressive, but that range jumping to 115 feet—about half the length of a football field—truly makes a difference when you’re searching through a crowded airport, a packed parking lot, or a large home. But when it comes to bang to your buck, the original AirTag is worth adding to cart.If you have your eyes set on the original AirTag, swoop in fast. It's only a matter of time before this deal vanishes; knowing how Apple phases out its tech in favor of newer models, the AirTag 1 is only this cheap until it runs out for good.
