We could all use a little help tracking our stuff, and Bluetooth trackers can do just that. Apple’s AirTags are among the most available and you can pick them up for less right now thanks to Prime Day deals. Four-packs of AirTags are 19 percent off and down to $80, bringing the price down to just $20 each. If you only need one, you can get one AirTag for $25.
This is our top pick of the best Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users, thanks to their seamless connection with the iOS device and their integration with Apple’s Find My network. It takes just seconds to pair and AirTag to your iPhone, give it your belongings and start monitoring its location with the Find My app.

We’ve found AirTags to be very accurate in finding lost items at the moment, and those with newer iPhones can use ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless. When you’re close enough to your lost items, your iPhone can show you on-screen directions to lead you right there.
AirTags also have strong separation alerts, which will alert you if, say, you leave a coffee shop without your bag or leave your jacket behind at a restaurant. In our testing, we went about 1,200 meters before getting multiple warning alerts, which aren’t too far away and should mean you can easily (and quickly) return to retrieve your belongings before anything bad happens to them.
The important thing to know about AirTags, apart from their iOS uniqueness, is the fact that they don’t have a built-in key input port. That means you’ll need an AirTag holder or case if you plan to attach the mini disc to your keys. If you want to use it to guard a wallet or backpack, you can easily get away with it by tucking it into an inside pocket. Also, AirTags run on coin batteries; you don’t have to replace it for a few years, though, and battery replacement is very easy.
