chipoloOn Monday, the manufacturer of Airtag-like devices launched the latest version of the product. Now, the new Chipolo Pop device, in contrast to its model that offers only collaboration with Apple or Google’s Lost-Metem Finding technology, is used out of the box with both companies’ Discovery Network.
By combining these different features into a device, Chipolo believes that consumers can more easily choose the right device for their needs. Additionally, this can make Chipolo products better for giveaways, as buyers don’t need to know whether the recipient is using Android or iPhone.
Chipolo devices are a handful of companies including ceramic tile, Pebblebee and Samsung that can make their own Airtag-like trackers.
Tile designs with tiles designed a discovery network that utilizes people who install mobile apps, Chipolo chooses to work with existing discovery networks offered by platform manufacturers Apple and Google. (Although the tiles arrived before Airtag $205 million)
Chipolo has sold more than 4.5 million units so far. After its first Find Me compatible product, Chipolo One Point and Chipolo Card Spot, was launched, the company shared an average annual growth rate of 30% with TechCrunch via email.
In addition to providing support for Apple and Google’s Discovery Network, the new Chipolo Pop includes other popular features from previous trackers, including a tracker with dual dial-in range alerts, the option to change Chipolo’s ringtones and the option to use the tracker as a remote selfie shutter to find missing phones.
The device’s Bluetooth range has also been extended to 300 FEETT (90m), the battery lasts for 1 year and can be replaced by users.
Now the new device is available in blue, black, green, red, white and yellow and is sold on Chipolo’s website and on Amazon for $29 (£30/€35).
