There’s a new angle to the competition between Apple and Motorola with the launch of the Moto Tag. Following the arrival of Motorola’s Bluetooth trackers, the price of the Apple AirTag was reduced to $23 on Amazon, down by $6 from its original price of $29. The discount may not look like much, but the savings will add up if you’re planning to buy multiples of the tracking device. We’re not sure how long you’ll be able to buy it at 21% off though, so if you’re interested, you should complete your purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Apple AirTag

The Apple AirTag is featured in our roundup of the best Bluetooth trackers as the top choice if you’re using an iPhone. In addition to a seamless one-tap setup with iOS devices, the Apple AirTag uses Precision Finding with Ultra Wideband technology on the newer iPhone models to lead you to it if you’ve misplaced the item that it’s attached to. If the object is further away, specifically beyond the 30-foot range of Bluetooth connections, the tracking device will use the Find My app to communicate with millions of other Apple devices to help you track its location. If you activate Lost Mode for your Apple AirTag, you will receive a notification when it’s detected by any device in the Find My network.

There are various accessories that you can use with the Apple AirTag to make it easier to attach to items, and with IP67 resistance against water and dust, it won’t easily be damaged when it’s exposed to the elements. The Apple AirTag is not rechargeable, but its CR2032 coin cell battery will last for approximately one year before it needs to be replaced.

There’s always high demand for Apple deals, and we don’t expect anything different with Amazon’s 21% discount for the Apple AirTag. The Bluetooth tracker is down to only $23 from its sticker price of $29, for savings of $6. This is an offer that you won’t want to miss if you’re planning to buy multiples of the tracking device, but you’re going to have to hurry in completing your transaction because there’s no telling when the Apple AirTag will return to its regular price — that may happen as soon as tomorrow.

iPhone 17 is going to get pricier, hold on to your wallets

Planning to buy an iPhone 17? You may have to pay more as soon as next week

Apple iPhone 17 in Lavender Purple

Apple may be preparing to raise the price of the iPhone 17 lineup as early as August 10, just weeks before the company is expected to introduce its next generation of iPhones. The possibility comes from a new rumor reported by 9to5Mac, which cites a Weibo post from leaker Fixed Focus Digital claiming that prices could increase on Monday.

There is no official confirmation from Apple, and the report does not identify a direct source for the alleged increase. Still, the timing is notable. Apple is widely expected to adjust iPhone pricing when the iPhone 18 Pro launches next month, but an increase affecting the existing iPhone 17 models earlier than that would be a significant change to the usual pattern.

ChatGPT could soon become your next WhatsApp sticker maker

Hidden code suggests OpenAI is preparing a direct sticker export feature for WhatsApp.

ChatGPT app on mobile

Creating custom WhatsApp stickers could soon become much simpler, especially if ChatGPT is already part of the workflow. A new APK teardown suggests OpenAI is developing a feature that would allow users to generate custom stickers inside ChatGPT and export them directly to WhatsApp. While the functionality isn't live yet, hidden code discovered in the latest Android app points to native WhatsApp integration, potentially eliminating the need to save images and manually convert them into stickers first.

The Pixel 11 is almost here, but I’m more excited about what could come with it

Maroon, Text

It’s August, which means one thing if you follow smartphones even remotely closely: new Pixels are almost here. Google is holding its next Made by Google event on August 12, and this year, we’re expecting another packed lineup of phones. The Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold are all expected to take the stage. Yes, that’s the same four-phone lineup Google gave us last year, but the interesting part will obviously be what’s changing underneath. Between the usual camera improvements, new hardware, and whatever AI tricks Google has been cooking up, there should be plenty to talk about.

And the phones may only be part of the story. Google is expected to have a few more announcements up its sleeve, making this one of its biggest hardware events of the year. So, if you’re planning to tune in, here’s when the Made by Google event starts, how you can watch it, and everything we expect Google to announce.
