[Deal du jour] Apple AirTags are useful for finding your items easily. They are a bit expensive at the normal price, but with a 24% discount they are much more interesting.
What is the promotion for Apple AirTags?
The set of 4 Apple AirTags is sold on the official Apple website for €129. It is currently available on Amazon for €97.99. Note that a single AirTag costs €29.99.
What are AirTags?
AirTags are small round tags that work over Bluetooth, measuring 31.9mm in diameter and 8mm thick. Their small size means they can be slipped into a bag or wallet, or attached to a keychain. AirTags are made of plastic with a metal back that ensures good strength. They have an IP67 certification and are rain-resistant.
These Apple beacons are used to find the objects they are attached to thanks to the precise location function that uses Ultra Wideband technology. Apple's ecosystem ensures that when another user's iPhone is near your AirTag, they send their location to your smartphone. Note that the AirTag must be stationary for its position to be updated. If the object the beacon is attached to moves, tracking becomes more difficult.

AirTags are actually a better deal when they're on sale. Once the AirTags are located, the guidance on your smartphone is precise. For greater efficiency, the beacon can emit an audible signal when you are nearby. Assigning an AirTag to an object is also easy using the corresponding application. However, keep in mind that Apple's tags work better with iPhones than Android smartphones. Compatibility with these is actually limited.
The AirTags have a battery life of about a year and work on a dead CR032 battery. If you logically plan to use the Apple Tag with your keys, unfortunately you will have to look out for the Essential keychain, which still costs 49 euros in official Apple stores. Fortunately, there are cheaper alternatives, such as the Belkin Protection Ring, which currently costs €14.50.
Finally, beacons are regularly criticized for the fact that some can easily use them for malicious purposes. Apple has added safeguards to its AirTags to protect surveillance victims. There are also solutions to protect against risks.
