Stop losing your wallet, your keys, or your luggage. Strap an AirTag on it instead. AirTags are convenient for locating all the stuff that sneaks away from you. ZDNET’s Sabrina Ortiz even puts one on her dog, in the rare case he runs away.
AirTags use Bluetooth signals to connect to neighboring Apple devices in the Find My network. Then that location is reported back to you through your phone.

I’ve run with the JLab JBuds ANC 3 in my ear and never had a problem with the earbuds falling out. Plus, the noise cancellation is top-notch for an under-$100 pair of earbuds, and the battery life feels endless. I’ve put the JBuds ANC 3 on a few of my best earbuds lists as a best budget pick, and this $18 discount makes them even better, in my opinion.

FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon’s deals-palooza takes place this year on July 16 and 17. You’ll find discounted prices on select tech, home, and wellness gadgets. It’s a great time to make a buying decision on products you’ve been holding off purchasing, but it’s also an opportune time for brands that don’t actually change their prices, wave quote-unquote discounts above customer’s heads, and tell customers that they’re buying something for a lower price when they aren’t.
Are items really cheaper on Prime Day?
Most items are substantially discounted on Prime Day, but sometimes brands will raise their prices and then discount them to inflate deals and discounts. Thankfully, as someone who regularly monitors product prices, we here at ZDNET know when some product discounts are true deals and when brands are blowing smoke to turn a profit.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
