In this guide
The pack sold in Australia is the same second-generation AirTag as the US four-pack: part number MFEA4X/A, four 31.9 mm discs with Bluetooth, Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, NFC and an IP67 rating. Apple's Australian store prices it at A$165 against A$49 for a single tag, so the pack saves A$31 over buying four one at a time, with free delivery and free engraving of initials or an emoji.
What the sticker leaves out is the part you actually carry. An AirTag has no hole and no loop, so each disc needs a holder, a sleeve or a pocket before it can ride on a set of keys or a suitcase handle. Apple's FineWoven Key Ring is A$59 on the Australian store, which is more than a single tag and turns a four-tag outfit into A$401 all up if every holder comes from Apple.
Our verdict
At A$165 the four-pack is the right buy for an iPhone household tagging four things, provided holders are budgeted separately; Apple's A$59 key ring can cost more than the tags it carries.
- A good fit for
- An iPhone family tagging two suitcases, the car keys and a backpack, sharing each tag with up to five people so anyone can ping them.
- We would skip it if
- The searching phone runs Android, the job is tracking a person or a pet, or only one object ever goes missing and the A$49 single covers it.
Reasons to consider it
- A$165 for four against A$49 each, with free delivery and free engraving from Apple Australia
- Find My, Lost Mode and the relay network carry no subscription fee
- CR2032 coin cell rated for more than a year, swapped by twisting off the steel cover
The compromises
- No hole or loop: every tag needs a holder, and Apple's FineWoven Key Ring is A$59 each in Australia
- Setup and finding need an iPhone on iOS 26 or an iPad on iPadOS 26; the longer Precision Finding range needs an iPhone Air or iPhone 15 or later, excluding the 16e and 17e
- Apple's one-year accessory warranty is a voluntary promise; the non-excludable protection is the Australian Consumer Law guarantees underneath it
What we have not verified: Battery life, speaker loudness and finding range are Apple's lab figures with no independent measurement, and third-party holder prices in Australia were not surveyed, so the true outfit cost beyond Apple's A$59 key ring is open.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
AirTag (2nd generation) 4 Pack
A$165 for four IP67 second-generation tags, A$31 under singles, a user-replaceable CR2032 rated past a year, sharing with up to five people and a Find My network with no subscription.
Before you buy: No loop on the tag, so holders are extra at A$59 each from Apple; the extended Precision Finding range needs an iPhone Air or iPhone 15 or later, and Android cannot set a tag up at all.
Price checked 10 November 2026. Retailer prices can change.The pack saves A$31, then the holders add it back
Apple Australia prices one AirTag at A$49 and the four-pack at A$165, so the pack is A$31 cheaper than four singles and arrives with free delivery. Engraving of initials or an emoji is free but only through Apple; a box bought elsewhere is plain. That is the whole of the saving on the tracker side.
The gap is mechanical. The disc has no keyring hole, so it cannot ride on keys or a zip pull by itself, and Apple's own answer, the FineWoven Key Ring, is A$59 in Australia. Four of those are A$236, more than the A$165 pack they carry. Apple says the new tag keeps the original's form factor and works with all existing AirTag accessories, so holders already in a drawer, or cheaper ones made for the 2021 tag, keep the pack's saving intact.
Three finding modes, all gated behind an iPhone or iPad
Close by, the Find My app plays a sound through the built-in speaker, which Apple rates 50 per cent louder than the 2021 model. In the same room Precision Finding uses Ultra Wideband to show distance and direction; the extended range, up to 1.5 times the original, needs an iPhone Air or an iPhone 15 or later and Apple excludes the iPhone 16e and 17e.
Beyond Bluetooth range the Find My network relays the tag's rotating identifier through passing Apple devices to iCloud at no charge, and Lost Mode notifies you when the tag is next seen and lets a finder tap it with an NFC phone. A tag can be shared with up to five people. None of it starts without an iPhone on iOS 26 or an iPad on iPadOS 26 signed into an Apple Account; an Android phone only receives unwanted-tracking alerts.
A swap-it-yourself cell, and two layers of cover
The cell is an ordinary CR2032, installed in the box and rated by Apple for more than a year of typical use; Find My alerts you when it runs low, and Apple's battery guide has you press and turn the steel cover anticlockwise for the swap, with a warning that some bitter-coated CR2032 cells may not work. The disc is 31.9 mm across, 8.0 mm thick and 11.8 g, IP67 for one metre of water over 30 minutes, a lab rating Apple notes can fade with wear.
Cover comes in two layers. Apple's one-year accessory warranty is a voluntary manufacturer's promise that excludes normal battery depletion, and Apple's Australian wording says it is in addition to rights under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010: goods carry guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, with a replacement or refund for a major failure and repair or replacement for a non-major acceptable-quality failure. Apple's store separately allows a return or exchange with a receipt within 14 days of receipt, in original condition.
The A$165 ticket is the GST-inclusive total
Apple prints the tax position itself: its Australian launch release gives the prices as A$49 inc. GST for one tag and A$165 inc. GST for the four-pack, and the buy page shows A$165 as one figure with delivery at zero in its offer data. The law points the same way. Australian Consumer Law section 48 requires a seller quoting part of a price to also state, prominently and as a single figure, the single price for the goods, and the ACCC's guidance says that figure is the minimum total cost including taxes and duties.
So nothing is added for GST at an Australian checkout. The number to add on top is the holder, a separate purchase at Apple's A$59 or a third-party price.
When the four-pack is the wrong buy
The hard stop is the platform: if the phone that will search for the keys runs Android, the pack is four discs that cannot be paired, and their only act on that phone is warning it about someone else's tag. The pack also fails the brief if the job is tracking a person or an animal: Apple says Find My accessories should not be used to track people, and its unwanted-tracking alerts warn anyone a tag that is not theirs travels with.
And if only one object ever goes missing, the A$49 single is the cheaper answer. The four-pack earns its A$165 when at least four things deserve a tag and a holder each, and when those holders are already owned or cost less than Apple's A$59 key ring.
