Apple cuts AirTag price to all-time low

Apple is selling its second-generation AirTags for 21 percent off today, marking the lowest price for the device since its release.

The discount makes the current price lower than what buyers paid during October Prime Day. This is rare for Apple products, which usually hold steady prices for long periods.

The device functions as a Bluetooth tracker for personal items. Users attach the tag to objects like wallets, keys, or luggage. They then locate the item using the Find My app on their iPhone. The app displays a map and provides directions to the lost object.

The second generation includes specific upgrades over the first model. The built-in alarm is 50 percent louder and uses a new sound. This helps users find items that are buried under other objects. The device also features improved Bluetooth and Ultra Wideband range, allowing it to track items from further away.

Compatibility is limited to iPhones running iOS 14 or later. This includes devices from the iPhone 12 through the newest models. Some advanced features, such as Precision Finding, work best on iPhone 15 or later hardware, according to Apple.

The battery in the AirTag lasts for over one year before it requires replacement. The device is available for purchase on Amazon. It is compatible with various third-party accessories, including keychains and card holders.

The sale is part of a broader push to make the holiday season easier for shoppers. The AirTag is often recommended as a gift due to its low cost and utility for travelers and students. The current offer represents the deepest discount available on this specific hardware generation.
