What we love: The easy setup and the multiple ways to find your lost items.

What to be aware of: AirTags can only be tracked by Apple products.

Apple AirTags can help you keep track of everything that’s important to you. Just attach the small tracking device to your belongings after you tap it to connect to your iPhone or iPad. If you lose the item the AirTag is attached to, either play a sound on the tag's built-in speaker or use the Find My app to track it. When an AirTag is in Lost Mode, you’ll automatically be notified if it's detected on the Find My network. If you'd rather get multiple, you can also get a pack of four.

What else you should buy: There are a whole range of holders for AirTags, from key ring holders to wallets and even dog collars.

Original price: $349

What we love: 128GB gives you room for apps, photos, docs, and downloads without stressing space.

The Retina display features True Tone tech, which adjusts to your environment for better viewing depending on where you are and the conditions to give you the best picture. With 128 GB of storage, there’s plenty of room for apps, files and more.

For artists or note-takers, it works with the Apple Pencil (though not the latest Pencil Pro), offering a realistic drawing and writing experience. Add the Magic Keyboard Folio, and it easily transforms into a lightweight laptop with a detachable keyboard that clicks into place.

Original price: $999

What we love: Apple Intelligence is built-in and the M4 chip makes everything faster.

What to be aware of: Some users don't appreciate how thin the laptop is, which makes it feel less durable.

There’s a lot to learn about Apple products. To give you a head start, here are a few frequently asked questions users have about different Apple products.

AppleCare is personalized support from Apple professionals. From repairs to handling stolen items to frequently asked questions, AppleCare gives you 24/7 access via chat or call. You can purchase the following core Apple products with Apple Care included:

When choosing between Apple’s headphone options, the listening experience you want can help you make the right decision for your needs. If you’re willing to spend a little more, the Apple AirPods Max are over-the-ear headphones that provide a more immersive listening experience.

The Apple AirPods Pro 3 are high-tech earbuds that provide a hearing aid feature and don’t sacrifice on sound quality. Apple’s AirPods (3rd generation) are the original version of headphones that are best for users looking for the most affordable option. They’re not the strongest in sound quality, but they seamlessly connect to your phone, iPad or laptop.

The M4 chip is Apple’s answer to faster processing speeds. It’s a super-charged chip in some of Apple’s 2024 products. It’s designed to be faster and more efficient than previous chips, and it has incredible performance for Apple Intelligence, Apple’s new AI program. Apple's newest products (the new iPad Pro and MacBook Pro) each come with the M5 chip, which gives an even more significant performance boost, especially for AI applications.

According to Apple, the life expectancy of a MacBook is about seven years. That said, plenty of users find that their MacBook lasts longer, especially if it’s taken care of. Keeping a case on your laptop and blowing it out regularly helps it not overheat, adding to its life expectancy.
