We spotted a great deal on Tile trackers earlier this week that's still live, but if you're an iPhone owner, we ultimately recommend Apple's latest AirTag. Right now, you can pick up a four-pack for $89 ($10 off) at Amazon and Target, matching the bundle's all-time low price. If you're a member, Costco also has a deal that throws in a fifth AirTag for free.

Apple AirTags (second-generation)Where to Buy:

• $99 $89 at Amazon (pack of four)
• $99 $89.99 at Target (pack of four)

A growing number of Bluetooth trackers can tap into Apple's Find My network these days, but none combine that with Apple's latest ultra wideband (UWB) chip, which powers even better Precision Finding than before. Precision Finding uses on-screen arrows and distance indicators in the Find My app to guide you directly to a misplaced item, while the second-generation AirTag's upgraded chip and extended Bluetooth range make it faster and more reliable to locate tags, even in multistory homes. You can also use Precision Finding to find lost items on an Apple Watch, provided you have a Series 9 or later. And if all else fails, the built-in speaker is noticeably louder than before, making it easier to track down an AirTag by sound.

Plus, like its predecessor, the second-generation AirTag comes with a handful of features that are especially useful if you're traveling this summer. AirTag sharing lets up to five people keep track of the same item, while Apple's Share Item Location feature allows you to temporarily share an AirTag's location with participating airlines, including United, Delta, and American Airlines. It's still a shame Apple doesn't include a built-in lanyard hole, meaning you'll need to buy a separate loop or holder, but the tracker continues to use a replaceable CR2032 battery, so you won't have to replace the entire device when it eventually runs out of power. And at $89 for a four-pack, it's also a little easier on your wallet today.
