Need a cheap Christmas stocking filler? Apple AirTags are outrageously good value

I've always hated the phrase 'stocking filler' (talk about giving the game away!), but now that it's my job to help grown adults find good deals on great tech products, I'm throwing caution to the wind: Apple AirTags are an outrageously good stocking filler, and they're cheaper than ever at Amazon right now.

Specifically, you can pick up a four-pack of Apple's pocket-sized object trackers for a record-low $64.99 (down from $99) in the US, or £79 (down from £119) in the UK. Single-pack AirTags are on sale in both regions, too, at just $17.99 (down from $29) in the US and £28 (down from £35) in the UK.

It's worth noting that, while we've been waiting all year for Apple to release a second-generation AirTag model, we're now not likely to see an AirTag 2 until 2026.

That newer model will likely use an upgraded ultra-wideband chip to deliver greater tracking range and potential compatibility with the Vision Pro headset, but if you're simply looking for a way to keep tabs on your keys, wallet, or suitcase, you're better off buying the current generation than waiting for the next.

Apple's first-gen AirTag is still a perfectly capable accessory, and at these pre-Black Friday prices, they've never been more of a steal.
