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.

Australian Court Rules Apple, Google Broke Competition Rules
An Australian court has ruled that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) engaged in anti-competitive conduct in the app market, marking a partial win for Fortnite maker Epic Games. The Federal Court found the two tech giants abused their control over app distribution and in-app payments to limit competition, a move Judge Jonathan Beach said likely led to higher commission fees for developers. The ruling means Epic's store and Fortnite will come to iOS in Australia, though the court rejected Epic's claims of consumer law violations or unconscionable conduct. Google welcomed the rejection of some demands, like distributing rival app stores within Google Play, but disagreed with the court's view of its billing practices. It also stressed the openness of Android compared to Apple's closed system. Apple said it strongly disagreed with parts of the ruling, maintaining it faces fierce competition and that the App Store is the safest platform for users. The decision also upheld two class actions against both companiespotentially setting up one of the largest corporate payouts in Australian history. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Apple says the App Store is 'fair and free of bias' in response to Musk's legal threats
Apple has denied Elon Musk's accusation that it's favoring OpenAI in its App Store rankings and making it impossible for other AI companies to reach the top. In a statement sent to Bloomberg , Apple said the App Store is "designed to be fair and free of bias." The company's spokesperson explained that the App Store features "thousands of apps through charts, algorithmic recommendations and curated lists selected by experts using objective criteria." They added: "Our goal is to offer safe discovery for users and valuable opportunities for developers, collaborating with many to increase app visibility in rapidly evolving categories." xAI founder Elon Musk accused Apple of "unequivocal antitrust violation" by favoring OpenAI in a post on X, warning that his company "will take immediate legal action." In a separate post from his threat, he asked Apple why it "[refuses] to put either X or Grok in [its] 'Must Have' section." X, he said, is "the #1 news app in the world," while Grok is ranked number five among all apps. "Are you playing politics? What gives?" he continued. Musk didn't provide evidence to back his accusations. It's also worth noting that Chinese AI app DeepSeek reached the top of Apple's free app rankings back in January, overtaking even ChatGPT. As X's own Community Notes also mentioned in Musk's post, added hours after it went up, Perplexity reached the top of overall rankings in India's App Store back in July. Both apps were able to reach the top of their respective lists way after Apple and OpenAI announced their partnership last year. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman responded to Musk's accusation, as well. He said it's a "remarkable claim," given that he has heard allegations that Musk manipulates "X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like." In response, Musk posted: "Scam Altman lies as easily as he breathes."
