The best Black Friday Apple deals includes this 4-pack of AirTags discounted to only $73

Thanksgiving fills me with thoughts of holidays past. Specifically, holiday trips to visit family. More specifically, those times when I arrived at my destination but my luggage was still bouncing around the airport (maybe the wrong airport), and I was without clean clothes for a day.

Ah, but that's all in the past. Thanks to Apple AirTags, I can track my bags from the drop-off to the plane to the luggage carousel. And even when the worst happens, and my bags end up in Orlando when I'm in Michigan (true story), I know where they are and how to find them.

These little lifesavers are essential for anyone prone to misplacing things. Right now, you can snag a four-pack for just $73 thanks to this Black Friday deal.

These quarter-seized Bluetooth trackers are perfect for attaching to your keys, tossing in your suitcase or even stashing on your bike. And when something inevitably goes MIA, your iPhone becomes your own spy gadget, helping you zero in on it like it came from Q himself.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

AirTags go on sale from time to time, but the four-pack has never been priced lower. And a single AirTag typically costs around $29 (right now, it's down to $24). This deal drops the cost to just $18.25 per tracker! Buying in bulk really does save money, and not just when it comes to toilet paper.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Each AirTag comes with a replaceable battery that's good for up to one year. Pairing a tracker with your phone is as simple as bringing it close and performing a few setup taps.

If an AirTag is within about 30 feet, your iPhone will help you locate it via an onscreen arrow. If it's outside of that range, Apple's Find My network kicks in. Any other iPhone that comes within range of your AirTag will help you pinpoint its location. That's incredibly powerful ... and kind of mind-blowing.

Take note that Apple doesn't provide any kind of case or clip, meaning if you do want to attach one to something (like a keychain), you'll need to buy an accessory. Amazon is home to a wide assortment of AirTag holders, most of them pretty inexpensive (like this four-pack on sale for just $5).

What reviewers say 💬

More than 5,200 five-star shoppers have relied on these quarter-sized gadgets to keep track of their stuff.

Pros 👍

"Put these in your luggage when traveling," wrote one user. "I felt better checking my bags when flying, knowing I had a way to track my luggage to make sure it was with me and going to where I was. It was very accurate. When in Paris, it could tell me where my bag was at in a specific baggage claim. It's also really easy to set up."

"What took me so long to get Apple AirTags?" another user lamented. "I recently took a golf trip and was shipping my golf clubs with ShipSticks. I purchased this four-pack of AirTags and was able to insert one AirTag into my golf bag. I could then track my golf clubs in transit and knew when they arrived at the destination club. I've also put them into my checked luggage and [on my] car keys."

This dutiful child put them to work for their parents. "My elderly mother is constantly asking me to help her find things like her wallet, so I thought, why not use an AirTag? It's small enough that it's not bothersome or noticeable, and it saves us the headache of locating it."

Cons 👎

Another reviewer offered a caveat: "The only downside is that if you want an accurate location on where your AirTag is, you need to have a newer iPhone that shows you directions and how many feet away you are from your AirTag. My iPhone is not new, and it just gives me a general area where it is."

And keep in mind: AirTags don't work like many other trackers. "A downside to these is that you can't press a button to find your phone like with the Tile," a buyer said.
