AMAZON has slashed the price of an Apple AirTag deal by £20.
The bundle bags you four AirTags – small discs that let you track the locations of your most important belongings.
Normally an Apple AirTag costs £29.99 to buy outright.
Or you can buy a pack of four for £99.99 – which cuts the cost to just £25 per AirTag.
But Amazon’s latest discount brings the price of an AirTag four-pack to just £79.55.

That’s a generous 20% discount, slashing the cost of each AirTag to £19.89.
It’s probably the cheapest price we’ve seen AirTags available for.
And according to the CamelCamelCamel price tracker, Amazon has never sold this bundle for a lower price.
So if you’ve been waiting to buy an AirTag (or four), now’s your chance.
What is an AirTag?
AirTags are small metal discs that you tack onto objects, and then locate them with an iPhone.
A single AirTag costs £29, or you can get a pack of four for £99 (although Amazon has discounted this today).
It works using Apple’s global Find My ecosystem. It’s a network of over a billion devices, that can ping other devices nearby to help locate them.
That means if someone you don’t know walks near your lost iPhone with theirs, it can update the location on your Find My app.
This can be accessed via iCloud on the web, or an iPhone, iPad or Mac.
AirTag taps into this network, and lets you uncover a lost set of keys, a misplaced handbag, or a dearly departed suitcase.
It will use Find My to locate the AirTag on a map, just like a lost iPhone.
And once you get near to the AirTag, you’ll get proper directions and a distance counter to direct you to its exact spot – with pinpoint precision.

There are some caveats, depending on which iPhone you’ve got.
It needs to support iOS 14.5, so nothing older than an iPhone 6s will do.
And if you want to use the Precision Finding, you need an iPhone with a U1 chip.
That means any of the following devices:
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 12 Mini
- iPhone 12 Pro
- iPhone 12 Pro Max
However, Precision Finding is not necessary for basic AirTags functionality.
For normal usage, you just need an iPhone running iOS 14.5 or later.
