    Apples new AirTags come with 50% louder speakers, 50% increased find my range, the new Ultra-wide band chip so it can be precision found with an Apple Watch or iPhone, ALL while keeping the price the same! If you lose stuff all the time like me, these are a lifesaver.

Decision context

What the ledger says to check

Compatibility
Apple Account; iPhone with iOS 26 or later or iPad with iPadOS 26 or later. Precision Finding device support is narrower and region-dependent.
Price snapshot
Apple buy page showed $29 for one pack on 2026-08-08; verify storefront/region before publication.
Safety & privacy
Designed for items, not people. Apple documents unwanted-tracking alerts for iPhone and Android and says location data is encrypted; do not market as a child-safety GPS tracker.
