Get two for under $20 — Anker's SmartTrack link 2-pack is an affordable AirTag alternative
That's where devices like the beloved Apple AirTags and Tile trackers can be a game-changer. But the best item trackers can be pricey.
Thankfully, Anker has its SmartTrack Link trackers for $19 for a 2-pack. At full price, a single AirTag costs $29, which means this deal will net you two trackers for $10 less than the price of one AirTag. It sounds like a no-brainer (sorry, Android users, this is iOS only).
These trackers have full access to Apple's Find My network, which means if you lose an item, you'll be able to find it. All you need to do is use the pre-installed Find My app (included with your iPhone) and add the SmartTrack Link to the Items tab. In moments, you'll be able to keep track of two of your belongings for $19.
Item trackers are an investment that can save you money in the long run. If you need to replace the fob for your car, it'll cost substantially more than $19. And that's only from a purely dollars-and-cents perspective — there's also the stress of dealing with the loss of something important.
What's also cool about trackers like the Anker SmartTrack Link is that they work in reverse, meaning you can find your phone using the tracker by double-tapping the button. Yes, they work even if your phone is in silent mode, letting you hear the alert.
There's a cool feature that'll give you instant left-behind alerts via the eufy Security app, and it doesn't require an extra subscription, further adding to the value these trackers bring to the table. You can even use the app to share access with friends and family, allowing them to help you keep track of things.
Perhaps the most significant value proposition is the replaceable CR2032. No longer will you need to buy new trackers when the battery runs low — simply replace the battery, and you can continue tracking your goodies.
This might be my favorite early Prime Day deal because it's affordable and can save you money, which is what really makes a deal stand out in the incredibly competitive market.

Trump advisor Navarro rips Apple's Tim Cook for not moving production out of China fast enough
White House trade advisor Peter Navarro chastised Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday over the company's response to pressure from the Trump administration to make more of its products outside of China. "Going back to the first Trump term, Tim Cook has continually asked for more time in order to move his factories out of China," Navarro said in an interview on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street." "I mean it's the longest-running soap opera in Silicon Valley." CNBC has reached out to Apple for comment on Navarro's criticism. President Donald Trump has in recent months ramped up demands for Apple to move production of its iconic iPhone to the U.S. from overseas. Apple's flagship phone is produced primarily in China, but the company has increasingly boosted production in India, partly to avoid the higher cost of Trump's tariffs. Trump in May warned Apple would have to pay a tariff of 25% or more for iPhones made outside the U.S. In separate remarks, Trump said he told Cook, "I don't want you building in India." Analysts and supply chain experts have argued it would be impossible for Apple to completely move iPhone production to the U.S. By some estimates, a U.S.-made iPhone could cost as much as $3,500. Navarro said Cook isn't shifting production out of China quickly enough. "With all these new advanced manufacturing techniques and the way things are moving with AI and things like that, it's inconceivable to me that Tim Cook could not produce his iPhones elsewhere around the world and in this country," Navarro said. Apple currently makes very few products in the U.S. During Trump's first term, Apple extended its commitment to assemble the $3,000 Mac Pro in Texas. In February, Apple said it would spend $500 billion within the U.S., including on assembling some AI servers.

Amazon is selling the $599 iPad for $499 and shoppers say it's 'the best iPad since forever'
Amazon Prime Day officially starts tomorrow, but you can say it unofficially kicks off now, thanks to all the incredible deals on offer. To that end, if you're looking for the best iPad for most people, we've found a sale you can't pass up. Right now, Amazon is selling the iPad Air M3 11-inch for just $499. This tablet was already reasonably priced at $599, but this deal helps you save $100. The 11-inch iPad Air M3 is one of the best tablets, but the slate I use every day for reading novels and comics. Here's why you should consider buying it. The iPad Air M3 features stellar M3-powered performance, a vivid 13.6-inch display and useful Apple Intelligence features in the same thin and light design we've come to expect. While this tablet has pricey peripherals and isn't a major update to its predecessor, the iPad Air M3 is easily one of the best tablets you can buy. Like I said in my iPad Air M3 review, this device isn't revolutionary, but it has new features that give it an edge over its iPad Air M2 predecessor. The main difference is, of course, its Apple M3 chip that gives it 10% more performance than the previous generation. Thanks to this processor, this iPad Air has many of the same Apple Intelligence features you'd find on the beefier iPad Pro M4. The 11-inch iPad Air M3 has the same 2360 x 1640 Liquid Retina display as previous models. While it doesn't have an OLED like the latest iPad Pro, the display is plenty bright and colorful. I appreciate the vibrant appearance of comic book illustrations on this device, and I enjoy how easily I can read text due to the panel's sharp resolution. The iPad Air's sturdy aluminum body is as lovely as ever, and its thin profile makes it easy to hold for long periods. At 9.74 x 7.02 x 0.24 inches and 1.05 pounds, this tablet still lives up to its 'Air' moniker. It can easily slip into your backpack, where you might forget you have it since it's so thin and light. You can also comfortably read your favorite novels or digital comics for hours, thanks to the design. At $499, this is the lowest price we've seen the entry-level 11-inch iPad Air on sale for. If you're looking for the best overall iPad, this is a deal you don't want to miss. For more deals on Apple devices, laptops, TVs and more, check out our Amazon Prime Day deals live blog right now.
