Our verdict

One of these is useless without the other, which rather settles the argument. Apple's AirTag, £28.50 at the time of writing, is the actual tracker: one-tap setup, Find My network, a speaker you can ping from Siri, and a 4.6 rating from a huge 144,000 reviews. Belkin's £7.99 holder matches that 4.6 score from 36,000 buyers, and its twist-and-lock ring is how you actually attach an AirTag to keys or a child's bag, since the AirTag has no hole of its own. Start with the Apple if you own neither. If the tracker is already in a drawer, the Belkin puts it to work.
