Chipolo today introduced a series of new Bluetooth-enabled item trackers that are compatible with Apple's Find My network. Called the Pop, these trackers come in a range of bright colors, including blue, yellow, red, and green, along with black and white.
The Chipolo Pop item trackers work with Apple Find My, so you can use them just like AirTags. The Pop can be added to your Items tab in the Find My app, and once added, it is trackable over Bluetooth and can be placed on an item like a bag or a suitcase for tracking purposes.
When the item is out of range, the Pop is able to connect to the Find My network to leverage the iPhones of other people to locate your item and relay its location.
Like an AirTag, the Chipolo Pop is equipped with a CR2032 battery that lasts for up to a year before it needs to be replaced. The Pop is 6.6mm thick (so a little thinner than an AirTag) and it has a 300 ft range, plus it comes with a loop at the top for attaching a keyring or strap.
Compared to prior-generation Chipolo trackers, the Pop has a louder sound when the Play Sound option is selected in Find My, a longer range, and IP55 dust and water resistance.
Chipolo is selling the Pop for $29, and it can be purchased from the Chipolo website. Four Pops are priced at $89, and six Pops are priced at $121, or a little over $20 per tracker.

Yesterday, the leaker explained that the Apple "Vision Air" will feature a thinner design and switch the battery enclosure and several of its internal structures to titanium to reduce the device's overall weight. Most of ...
Wow, extremely bright. Very easy for a potential thief to spot and remove.
Not everything that gets lost is stolen. I've been carrying keys for many decades, and of all the dozens (hundreds?) of times I couldn't find them, theft was the issue exactly 0% of the time.
Every discussion of AirTags descends into the same tired back and forth about theft, but 1) none of these items pretends to be anti-theft and 2) there are so many other less nefarious scenarios in which they're useful.
The Apple Airtag has Ultra Wideband for much much better tracking &'location ,..this tag does not.
That s what I am wondering.
There are plenty of options in the market that are compatible, or to be exact, operable with the Find My network. But almost all of them do not have UWB to be qualified for “work like AirTag”.
AirTag is due to be facelifted. The timing of chipo to launch a colorful series is interesting.
