Today, Tile has released the newest version of its popular smartphone-connected tracker that is 25% smaller than the previous generation. After unveiling the Slim model (review) just weeks ago, ‘Mate’ is designed to accompany everyday items like your keys or purse. It weighs in at just over 6 grams and is 34 x 34mm in size. Tile continues to use Bluetooth LE for communicating between device (like the original version) and tracker while the internal battery is rated for one-year of use.
Tile Mate connects to your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch and select Android devices. From there, users can assign a ringtone that will sound if your valuables wander too far away. It can also be used to ping your phone in case it becomes lost, as long as it is within range. The free iOS and Android app also keeps tabs on the last known location of your accessory. Tile Mate retails for $25 as a single unit or you can grab a four-pack for the discounted price of $70 at Amazon.
