Apple AirTags slashed to staggeringly low price on Amazon ahead of Black Friday

Black Friday is nearly upon us - though let's face it, most retailers have already kicked off their sales early, including Amazon, which has some cracking deals already. For Apple enthusiasts, the Apple AirTag currently boasts a hefty price slash on a pack of four AirTags, now just £84, marking a significant discount.

So if you're fed up with misplacing your keys, valuables or even your car, the Apple AirTag could be the solution to give you some peace of mind. However, if you don't really need four (which many of us don't), you can still nab a single AirTag for £28 from Amazon.

It's not a huge discount, but it might be just right for most Brits. But take note, AirTags won't work unless you own an Apple device.

That said, there are budget-friendly alternatives out there. Compatible with both Android and iOS phones, the Tile Mate makes finding those elusive items a cinch.

In comparison to Apple's own AirTags, you can grab a Tile Mate for only £9.99 from Amazon's Black Friday sale, which is an absolute steal. With IP67 water resistance, the Tile Mate also lets users tap into the secure and anonymous Tile Network to locate their belongings.

If you're unsure about which to choose, we recently conducted a thorough comparison of both the Apple AirTag and the Tile Bluetooth device when our writer jetted off on holiday.

Our tech expert, Harriet, writing for the Daily Mirror, pointed out that the Tile software had some issues when used with iOS devices. So, if you're an iPhone user looking for a smooth user experience, you might want to consider the AirTag instead.

At the time she said: "This is where the Apple AirTag comes out on top as the best tracker to buy if you can’t decide between that and Tile. Here at Mirror Choice, we’ve backed it thanks to its sleek in-app experiences, precise notifications and the ability to find it on another Apple device (if you share the same Apple ID that is).

"Another huge factor is price. Once you’ve paid for a pack or individual AirTag you won’t face any other costs; free app and no cost to look at the history.

"Tile Mate however, charge an extra £2.99 a month or £29.99 a year for features which can be done for free on the AirTag. Looking at a 30-day history location, and getting a notification to your phone each time you leave without your Tile tracker - something Apple without asking an extra penny for each time I left the villa in France, got in the transfer and checked by bag in at security."
