AirTags are not only some of the best Bluetooth trackers you can get right now, but they also make a useful, affordable gift for anyone in your life who has an iPhone. Black Friday Apple deals have brought the price of a four-pack down to $73, which is only $3 more than their all-time-low price. That brings the cost per AirTag down to $18.25, which is currently cheaper than if you were to buy just one on its own.
Apple AirTags easily made our list of the best Bluetooth trackers, particularly for regular iPhone users. We love the vast finding network, which really helps when you misplace a tag. Just think of all of those AirTags, iPhones and other Apple devices out there helping to create this network.
Apple AirTags also offer the ability to tap into the ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless protocol. This creates a sort of game out of finding lost items, as long as the object is within 25 feet of the phone. The screen will display directional arrows and a distance meter so you can zero in on the lost item without having to ring the AirTag.
There are some caveats. These trackers only really work with iPhones, so Android users should buy something else. Also, the ringer only goes for seven seconds at a time, which isn’t always enough time to track something down. Finally, there’s no attachment point for connecting to a keychain or a related item. However, there are plenty of good AirTag accessories to solve that problem.
We expect to see more Apple Black Friday deals come out in the coming days, but right now, also on sale is the USB-C Apple Pencil, which is down to $69. Apple's stylus lineup is pretty confusing, so we wouldn't blame you for not knowing if this one is right for you. The USB-C Pencil is best for those who don't want to spend the extra money on the Apple Pencil Pro as its a more affordable option, or 10th-gen iPad owners who don't need pressure sensitivity. It's a good value for iPad owners who are only casual note-takers or doodlers.
