During a recent airport experience, I faced the challenge of using a self-service machine to check my bags. Due to exhaustion, I didn’t attach the airline luggage label securely, and watched in dismay as my bag vanished on the conveyor belt.

This incident made me realize the importance of having AirTags, a tracking device that could have helped me locate my suitcase. With Black Friday around the corner, I’ve decided to invest in these handy gadgets.

In the UK, Apple offers AirTags for £35 each or £119 for a four-pack. However, Amazon UK currently has a single AirTag priced at £24.69 and a two-pack at £49.38, providing a 29% discount. For greater savings, a four-pack is available for £74, down from £119, giving you a 38% discount.

For customers in the US, Apple sells a single AirTag for $29. But on Black Friday, Amazon US is offering a significant 38% discount, bringing the price down to just $17.97 per AirTag.

Although Amazon doesn’t offer Apple’s free engraving service, the practicality of AirTags for tracking purposes outweighs this limitation, especially when discreet placement is preferred.

AirTags have diverse applications, from tracking luggage at airports to attaching them to pet collars for monitoring pets or securing valuable items like handbags and keys. However, compatibility is limited to newer iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models running specific iOS versions.
