\n\tWhile much of the year\u2019s aviatic disorder \u2014 the result of staffing shortages, weather problems and technological failures \u2014 has been out of travelers\u2019 control, there are at least ways to make finding wayward bags easier in the future. The solution? Getting a mini tracking device<\/a> like an Apple<\/a> AirTag or Tile Tracker to trace your stuff.<\/p>\n \n\tRight now, both AirTags and Tile Trackers are on sale as part of Amazon\u2019s Prime Day sale<\/a>. Amazon\u2019s new deal gets you a four-pack of AirTags on sale for just $64.99<\/a>. That brings the price of each tracker down to just $16<\/a> (for reference, Amazon sells a single, individual AirTag for $24<\/a>).<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tApple AirTags (Four-Pack)\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tThe four-pack deal is the best way to save on AirTags and score a discount online. Amazon is also the best place to score an AirTags deal \u2014 the trackers are still $99 for a four-pack on Apple.com. The $64 price, meantime, gets you a 34% discount<\/a> off the regular price of a four-pack and represents the cheapest price we\u2019ve seen \u2014 ever.\t<\/p>\n \n\tThe Tile Mate tracker, meantime, is available for just $17 on Amazon<\/a>. This is the latest 2024 model which was just released last fall. Save money by picking up a four-pack for just $53<\/a>, bringing the price of each Tile tracker down to just $13.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tTile by Life360 Mate Bluetooth Tracker (Four-Pack)\t\t<\/p>\n \n\tApple\u2019s AirTags<\/a> are one of the most popular tracking devices<\/a> on the market these days, consistently ranking as a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon<\/a>. More and more people are tagging their luggage with the Bluetooth tracker, which in the past was typically used to find commonly lost items like phones and keys.<\/p>\n \n\tBut how do AirTags work and how does the Apple tracker compare to their main competitor: Tile<\/a>? Tile Bluetooth trackers were actually released in the market before Apple AirTags, and Tile currently boasts four different offerings<\/a> in its line: the Tile Pro, Mate, Slim and Sticker<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tWhen it comes to AirTags vs. Tile, the difference could come down to the features you\u2019re looking for, and the device you\u2019re using. Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n \t\tAirTags vs. Tile Tracker: Which One Is Best?\t<\/p>\n \n\tThe Apple AirTag is a coin-sized tracking device that you can tuck into your luggage or attach to a keychain-style holder (see chic AirTag holders here<\/a>). If you\u2019re using it for traveling, the AirTag will send you a notification when it safely arrives at the airport. If things go haywire, you can use Apple\u2019s extensive \u201cFind My\u201d network to locate the exact location of your tag (and the contents associated with it). For iPhone users, this is the same place you go to activate the \u201cFind My Phone\u201d function and the same way you\u2019d track your Apple Watch<\/a>, laptop, AirPods<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n \n\tAirTags are particularly effective because your tag can still be tracked when it\u2019s powered off or not connected to the internet. As long as the AirTag is in Bluetooth range of another Apple device that\u2019s opted into the Find My network (of which there are reportedly close to one billion users, per Apple), then you\u2019ll be able to find your bag on a map. You can then easily show the location to an airport agent who can hopefully then help you re-direct your luggage.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Tile Bluetooth tracker<\/a> has many of the same features as AirTags with a couple of differences. The main difference is on battery life, with Apple saying that AirTags have a one-year battery life, while Tile claims its trackers can run for up to three years before the battery needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n \n\tAirTags are also designed for iPhone users only \u2014 if you\u2019re an Android user, you\u2019ll want to pick up a Tile tracker<\/a> instead. Tile trackers are compatible with both iPhone and Android devices.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Tile Sticker<\/a> \u2014 the brand\u2019s smallest tracking device \u2014 weighs just 0.2 ounces, making it lighter than the AirTag and great if you want to stick a tracker on say, your pet\u2019s collar (we found that the AirTag was too heavy on our cat\u2019s collar and caused his neck to sag).<\/p>\n \n\tAll Tile Trackers also have a built-in key hole, so you can easily attach it to your keys or affix it to your luggage tag or zipper. AirTag users have to buy a separate holder<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tIn our testing, the Apple AirTag is the most reliable, and that\u2019s because Apple\u2019s network is much larger than Tile\u2019s. Apple has a network of more than one billion devices that \u201ctalk\u201d to each other to help locate your stuff, while Tile\u2019s network numbers into the millions. <\/p>\n![\"Best](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/airtags-deal.jpg\")
