Do you have a tendency to misplace or forget your items? I certainly do, and I know I’m not the only one. Thankfully, I primarily use Apple products, like the iPhone 16 Pro, and Apple has its own item tracker. It’s the Apple AirTag, and you can grab a four-pack for cheap this Black Friday, as Amazon has it for $73, down from the usual $99 price.

AirTags are small and discreet pucks that can fit pretty much anywhere. In your purse, wallet, luggage, jacket, or whatever else. You can even put them on your keys, but you need an AirTag holder for that. There are plenty of AirTag accessories on the market, so whatever style you’re looking for, you’ll probably find something that matches your style and personality for your keys.

Setting up an AirTag is easy. You just pull the plastic tab off, and it will automatically pair with your iPhone or iPad. Give it a name and an icon for easy recognition, and you’re good to go!

With AirTags, you can keep track of multiple items in the Find My app on iOS 18, along with your devices and friends. When you can’t find something, launch the app and it will show you where the item is by utilizing the Find My network of millions of Apple devices. You can even play a sound from the AirTag to help you locate the item when you’re near, and with Precision Finding (from the iPhone 11 and later), you can get real-time directions to your item.

I have many AirTags for my bags, luggage, keys, wallets, strollers, diaper bags, car, and more. They’re unbelievably convenient, and with a price this good, there’s no reason you shouldn’t stock up on a bunch of them — especially if you constantly misplace things like me.
