Right now, Costco members <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/8836598\/type\/dlg\/https:\/\/www.costco.com\/p\/-\/apple-airtag-2nd-generation-4-pack-includes-additional-airtag-1-pack-2nd-generation\/4000277035\/\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">can buy five location trackers for $99.99<\/a> ($29 off) either online or in-store, bringing the price of each tracker down to about $20 a pop. If you don\u2019t already belong to Costco, you can still take advantage of the discount if you\u2019re willing to pay a $5 surcharge or sign up for an annual membership, which currently starts at $65 a year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Apple\u2019s original AirTag has been our favorite tracker for iPhone users for years, and the newest version builds upon that excellence with some welcome improvements. What has always set the AirTag apart is Apple\u2019s ultra wideband chip, which allows for an impressive level of precision that competing products like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tile-Life360-Pro-Bluetooth-Compatible\/dp\/B0D637HWC5\/?tag=theverge02-20\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tile Pro<\/a> can\u2019t match. The company\u2019s new, upgraded chip still guides you straight to misplaced items with on-screen arrows, vibrations, and sounds, but now from up to 50 percent farther away. The extended range also makes tracking items in multi-story homes much more reliable, and even makes it faster to connect the AirTag to your phone. The built-in speaker is also 50 percent louder, making it easier to locate the item trackers when they\u2019re hidden from view.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The new model also keeps everything we loved in the original AirTag. It still uses a user-replaceable battery, so you don\u2019t need to replace it when it inevitably dies after a year or so. You also get the same IP67 water and dust resistance, extended Bluetooth range, and handy software features that let you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/6\/6\/23751614\/apple-airtag-find-my-sharing-ios-17-feature\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">share your tracker with up to five people<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/11\/11\/24293654\/apple-ios-18-2-share-airtag-locations\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">temporarily share<\/a> its location with airlines, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/12\/12\/24319503\/apple-airtag-find-my-network-share-item-location-united-airlines-lost-bag-luggage\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">United<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/12\/16\/24322718\/deltas-mobile-app-now-supports-apples-share-item-location-feature\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Delta<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/616912\/american-airlines-apple-airtag-share-item-location-lost-luggage\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">American Airlines<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Less than a month after making their debut, Apple\u2019s second-gen AirTags are already receiving their first discount.
