I bought this $20 gadget to track my child's backpack this school year and give me peace of mind

As a new school year approaches, many parents find themselves adding a long list of items to their shopping list. At the top of one parent's list is Apple's best-selling AirTag, a Bluetooth tracking device designed to work with an iPhone and locate an item that it's attached to. The parent decided to attach the AirTag to their child's backpack for peace of mind during the first days of kindergarten.

The newly released Apple AirTag 4 Pack is currently on sale for $79.99, which is a 20% discount off the original price of $99. This represents the lowest price ever seen for the 4 Pack, with each individual AirTag costing just $20. For those who are concerned about losing their belongings, the AirTag is an affordable and effective solution.

Designed to attach to anything you don't want to lose, the AirTag can be placed on a backpack, luggage, keys, or wallet, and your iPhone can easily locate it. In addition to its tracking capabilities, the 2nd Generation AirTag has a 50% longer Precision Finding range and a louder speaker with a higher-pitched chime. The device can also share its location with family and friends when tracking "shared items" or when lost luggage needs to be identified.

This limited-time offer is expected to expire soon, so those interested in purchasing the Apple AirTag 4 Pack should act quickly. However, for those only wanting a single AirTag, it's available for $24.
