Today, Tile is refreshing its collection of item finders with some help from Life360. Each product tackles the same mission of helping you locate lost or stolen items, just with some new tricks. Integrating one of the most popular lineups of Bluetooth trackers on the market with the app’s technology makes the Tile Mate and its other new counterparts even better.
Tile’s standard tracker lets you locate everything from keys to backpacks and anything else you can clip it to. So, if you need a new luggage tracker, this is your best option.
The main use case for this tracker is right in the name, but there’s more to this slim item finder than just keeping tabs on your wallet. Any bag or purse with limited room will also appreciate this discreet accessory.
This item finder packs the same tech as the other models, with a more compact design that you can stick practically anywhere. Adhere it to a TV remote, a hidden spot on your bike, inside a glasses case and anywhere else you could use a tracker.
Today’s new products are the first major updates to the Tile lineup in years. The last major refresh of the brand’s item finders was back in 2021, just months before the company Life360 acquired Tile.
This new collection is focused on three different variants. They all feature full integration into the popular Life360 app for the first time, which enables the new multifunction button to activate Life360’s SOS feature. Refreshed colors are a more noticeable change, but I certainly appreciate the extended Bluetooth range on these updated trackers. Tile Mate, Sticker and Pro also all have a louder ring than their previous counterparts.
Now, you might be wondering how the Apple versus Tile battle stacks up with the new releases. One of the biggest reasons to be considering the new Tile lineup over alternatives like Apple AirTags or Samsung Galaxy Tags is that these new trackers work with both iPhone and Android ecosystems. So instead of just defaulting to whatever item finder is sold by the brand that makes your smartphone, Tile makes a more versatile lineup. That makes these great for families who mix and match their technology between different companies.
Alongside all the individual item finders that are available on their own, Tile also has a combo pack that includes a nice mix of all the new releases. If you’re not just looking to secure your keys, a wallet or any other single item, this package includes all the coverage you need for less than buying it all separately.
This bundle includes four of the updated item finders in three different designs. There are two of the new Mates, as well as the wallet-friendly Slim tracker and the versatile Sticker finder.
Regardless of which Tile tracker or combo package you end up with, they all are now available for purchase at retailers like Amazon. However, there will also be a new Pro version on the way that won’t be launching until later this year.
