Chipolo’s colorful new trackers now work with Apple’s and Google’s networks

Chipolo has announced a new Bluetooth tracker called the Pop, featuring the same bright color options as its Chipolo One but with support for both Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find My Device networks. The Chipolo Pop also has a much larger Bluetooth range than the company’s current lineup of trackers and features improved water and dust resistance, expanding where it can be used.

Previously, Chipolo offered three versions of its disc-shaped AirTag-like trackers. The $25 Chipolo One worked with Chipolo’s own app and limited network, the $28 Chipolo One Spot worked with Apple’s Find My network, and the $28 Chipolo One Point supported Google’s Find My Device network. The new Chipolo Pop is compatible with both Apple’s and Google’s networks (but only one at a time), so you don’t have to worry about choosing the correct version that works with your devices — a convenience well worth the Pop’s small price bump to $29.

The Pop tracker is 1.53 inches in diameter, making it about a half-inch larger than a quarter, and measures about a quarter of an inch thick. It’s available in blue, black, green, red, white, and yellow color options and is powered by a user-replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery that will keep it running for up to a year.

It features the same 120dB alarm as Chipolo’s other trackers but boosts Bluetooth range from 200 feet to 300 feet, potentially making it easier to locate. The Pop also features an improved IP55 rating, meaning it’s both dust- and water-resistant, but not waterproof. You can clip one to your dog’s collar and not worry about them being out in the rain, but should your pup go for a long swim, the Pop won’t survive a complete dunking.

Although the tracker is designed to work with Apple’s and Google’s tracking apps, it’s also compatible with Chipolo’s own app, which offers unique features. You can change the sound the Pop makes when pinged, get a notification when you accidentally leave something behind (only on Android), use the Pop as a remote camera shutter, and ring your misplaced phone by squeezing the tracker twice, even if it’s set on silent.
