Pairing couldnt be easier, and once you do have it connected, it then lives in the Find My app. You can name it, give it an emoji and easily see where it is on a map.

Ive had first-hand experience of just how valuable they can be after losing
my keys on a late-night walk home (albeit after a fair few drinks). I was
able to open the Find My app the next morning and see exactly where my keys and I had become separated. A short walk back to the scene of the crime and I was reunited.

And thats with the original AirTag. The AirTag 2 comes with better features and while I wouldnt recommend an upgrade if you already use the OG, the second-gen model can be a stress reliever. Right now, for Amazon Prime Day, you can get the Apple AirTag 2 with up to 21% off . Its available as a single unit or a four-pack, with the latter offering arguably greater value.

New Zealand as well Save 21% (AU$34) Apple AirTag 2 (4-pack): was AU$165 now AU$131 at Amazon

Amazon has slashed the price of the 4-pack, resulting in each AirTag costing AU$32.75 each less than the AU$39 youd need to pay for a discounted single unit . You can attach them to keys, throw them in a suitcase, even strap one to your dog. Youll wonder how you ever went without them. View Deal As I mentioned, I own the first-generation AirTag, and it works a treat. The second-generation, launched at the start of 2026, offers some notable
upgrades that make it even more findable.

Said upgrades include a second-generation ultra-wideband (UWB) chip that enables precise AirTag finding from up to 50% farther away than the previous tracker. You will, however, need an iPhone 15 or newer to take advantage of this feature. If you have an older iPhone, youll still get the new precision finding feature, but range is limited to around nine metres or 30 feet.

The other notable upgrade is a speaker thats 50% louder than the previous version, which will help reunite you with items you may have lost around your home much easier.

Fortunately, Apple kept the battery the same. This means its
user-replaceable, as it accepts a CR2032 battery. Ive owned the first-gen trackers for almost three years, and Ive only replaced the battery in the one I use most (on my house keys) twice. Other trackers that have laid dormant still have their first battery inside and I can see them on the Find My app.

As Apple tech goes, the AirTag 2 could be considered affordable even at full price, but thankfully these Prime Day discounts make them even more accessible.

And to make them even more useful, be sure to check out the various accessories available , including key rings, straps, wallets and more.
