Apple unveiled a brand new product on Tuesday during its “Spring Loaded” press event: AirTag trackers that leaked more than a year ago. The gadget is similar to what’s available from Tile and Chipolo, two companies that have their own smartphone-connected trackers. But the AirTag has two significant advantages over its rivals. It’s built with strong privacy protections in place to prevent data interception and abuse, and — most importantly — it relies on about a billion Apple devices, most of them iPhones, to locate objects anywhere on earth. AirTags can be used with any object that you want to track, including keychains, bags, bikes, or anything that you’d want to find if it goes missing. But they’re not designed to track pets or children, Apple stresses. Today’s Top Deal We’ve never seen anything like this Amazon deal that shaves $100 off a best-selling 4K camera drone! List Price: $189.
