Not only do the new models of the Tile Mate and Tile Pro feature replaceable batteries, they also have a longer range, and louder volume sirens, making your bag/keys/dog more difficult to lose than ever.
Tile Mate boasts a Bluetooth range of 150 feet and Tile Pro offers a remarkable Bluetooth range of 300 feet.
The new replaceable battery is the key feature though (and something Tile customers have been asking for for a long time), and allows you to keep your Tiles indefinitely, simply replacing the batteries every year.
The new Tile Mate retails for £19.99 and new Tile Pro for £29.99. Both new models are available today at Tile.com as well as Amazon, John Lewis, Dixons and Currys PC World.
