Now in iOS 26.2, Apple has closed the feature gap in an unexpected but effective way. more…07:49 pmGift Guide: Never lose anything again with these Find My accessories

Macworld Listen, AirTags are absolutely awesome, but they do lack one feature that we see on other Bluetooth trackers, and that’s a way to easily hook them up to keychains on their own. Therefore, you have to buy various accessories to make that work, and some of the ones Apple sells can be as costly as an AirTag itself. That’s where today’s deal comes into play. Amazon’s Woot is selling a pair of Apple’s leather AirTag key rings for just $25, a heavy 64 percent discount on its usual $70 price. You can also grab s single holder for $15. These leather key rings are crafted with care, snuggly fitting over the AirTag, while the stainless steel ring can attach to a zipper in your backpack or to your actual keys. Need more AirTags? It just so happens that a four-pack of AirTags is also on sale for $70 over at Amazon, a savings of $30 a just a few dollars off their all-time low. Once paired with your iPhone, you can use AirTags to easily track lost items in the Find My app, whether they’re close by (by making a sound) or around the world (by using Apple’s global Find My network). Apple stopped making leather accessories when it introduced its FineWoven line of accessories, so once these are gone, they won’t be coming back. So go ahead and grab one (or two) of these Apple AirTag leather key rings for up to 64 percent off before the deal runs out. Buy now at Woot07:20 pm1Password App Zeroed Out by Failed Update
