One of the top item trackers we've ever tested is down to $12 — over 50% off
If you've ever misplaced your wallet, you know that it's one of the worst feelings. But today, there's a gadget that can prevent that pit in your stomach: the SwitchBot Wallet Tracker Card. It slides into your wallet or purse like any standard credit or debit card and connects to the Find My app on your iPhone, letting you track your wallet at all times. It's also one of Yahoo's picks for the best Bluetooth trackers for finding lost stuff, and it's just $12 at Amazon — that's over 50% off.
You'll rarely find a Bluetooth tracker for so little. An Apple AirTag is on sale for $24 — double the price of the SwitchBot. And at just $12, this particular tracker is also down to the lowest price it's ever been. Plus, this is chump change compared to the potential cost of a lost wallet.
If you often scramble to find your wallet before heading out the door, the SwitchBot Wallet Tracker Card can be your saving grace. Yahoo's Rick Broida tested it and named it the best wallet tracker for iPhone users, citing affordability and ease of use.
Unlike other popular trackers including the AirTag, this one comes with a handy loop that helps you secure it to other items. "Though obviously designed for wallet use, it also comes with a wrist strap, which could be used to loop it to something like a purse or backpack," Broida wrote. "SwitchBot promises up to three years of operation from the nonreplaceable battery."
About that battery — yes, it's nonreplaceable, which means you'll need to buy a new tracker when this one goes kaput. On the bright side, you don't have to worry about charging the battery or switching it out. The SwitchBot Wallet Tracker Card is also water-resistant, so it'll keep working even in the event of a spill or a little rain.
To set it up, you can either sync it to your iPhone's Find My app or use the SwitchBot app, which allows you to track your wallet on non-Apple devices. There's even two-way tracking, which lets you use the tracker card to locate your phone if you've misplaced it. Just double-press the button on the card and your phone will make a loud ringing noise. When you've misplaced your wallet, press the "Play Sound" button in your Find My app, and the tracker will sound off.
Shoppers say this tracker card has given them valuable peace of mind.
"Great device, thin and does all the things you'd expect an AirTag to do with a slimmer profile," one fan wrote. "Works with Find My [and] fits well in my wallet. Love it!"
"When you get it to make a sound, it screams pretty loudly and you can hear it from anywhere, whereas AirTags are quiet and still pretty hard to hear," a helpful buyer shared.
Speaking of that loud sound, another shopper said they could even hear the tracker when it was buried under other items: "What I appreciate most is the strong connection and accuracy of the tracking. It gives me precise locations, and the sound alert is loud enough to find my wallet even when it's buried under a pile of clothes or stuck between couch cushions."
One impressed reviewer plans to buy more for an unexpected use: "This is an amazing GPS tracker for a wallet or anything else you can think of. I like that it's super simple to use... I like that it can control home automation devices and set geofencing too. I am going to get two more to hide them on my electric bikes just in case they are ever stolen."
"One of the standout features for me is the impressive battery life — up to three years! I love not having to worry about recharging or replacing batteries frequently," this relieved reviewer noted. "I've taken it out in the rain without any issues, and I know it can withstand everyday wear and tear."
One shopper said that connecting the tracker to their phone was a bit finicky: "I bought three of these for holiday gifts — all to be connected directly to iPhone's Find My app. Two connected instantly, no problem, but one of our iPhone's Find My apps had trouble seeing the card."
A clever reviewer shared this tip: "Put it in the wallet's top card slot with the beep speaker facing out. I think it would work even better in the outer pocket of a purse or suspended inside ... by the mini lanyard it comes with."
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Apple's missing mojo
Apple's modest AI updates announced Monday did little to shake the sense that the iPhone maker is still finding its footing in AI as rivals charge ahead. Why it matters: AI is widely seen as the largest technology shift in decades and could easily serve as an inflection point where existing leaders are dethroned and new ones crowned. Driving the news: One year after unveiling an expansive vision for personalized AI that it has largely failed to deliver, the iPhone maker focused on a smaller set of tweaks and enhancements to Apple Intelligence. Some announcements from Monday, such as live translation, are useful additions already offered on rival devices from Google, Samsung and Microsoft. In a handful of other areas, such as image generation, Apple is improving its offering by drawing more heavily on its partnership with OpenAI. ChatGPT already handles Apple Intelligence features that require more world knowledge than is available from Apple's smaller, locally run models. Apple's most significant AI move was to allow developers to make use of Apple's own models, including a 3 billion-parameter model that runs on Apple devices and a larger one that runs via Apple's servers. Yes, but: The list of things Apple left unsaid looms larger than the improvements they did announce. The company didn't expand — or even really elaborate — on the vision it laid out last year where Apple takes advantage of all that it knows about its individual users to answer questions in a privacy-friendly way. Nor did Apple announce rumored deals with Google or Perplexity to serve as additional third-party engines for Apple Intelligence. Most glaringly, the company didn't offer a concrete timeline for the improved Siri originally promised last year. Apple's Craig Federighi said only that Apple would have more to say about the delayed feature within the coming year. The big picture: Apple's incrementalism stands in sharp contrast to Google, which unveiled a host of AI features, many of which were the kinds of things that users can touch and use, such as its new tools for video creation. Microsoft, Anthropic and others have also held events in recent weeks that offered more substantive advances for developers than what Apple showed on Monday. While Apple tends to avoid being at the bleeding edge of technology, its long-standing strategy of arriving late, but polished, might not survive the fast-moving pace of generative AI. Between the lines: Apple appeared eager not to overpromise this year, announcing only features it expects to be part of the fall release. The restraint reflects the fear of repeating last year's WWDC disastrous hyping of AI features that slipped past their ship dates. However, by sharing only what it is ready to ship, Apple may have reinforced the perception that it has made little progress since last year. What they're saying: Angelo Zino, a senior vice president and equity analyst at CFRA Research said he remains positive on Apple for the long-term but called Monday's developer conference a "dud" that is testing investors' patience.
