What's Happening?
Chipolo has introduced two new products, the Loop and Card trackers, which utilize rechargeable batteries. These trackers are compatible with Android's Find Hub network and Apple's Find My network, though only one at a time. The new trackers are made from recycled plastic and offer a more sustainable alternative to previous models that required battery replacement or entire tracker replacement. The Loop tracker features a key ring attachment and charges via USB-C, while the Card tracker charges wirelessly. Both offer a Bluetooth range of approximately 400 feet and are available for purchase at $39.

The compatibility with major tracking networks also enhances the utility and appeal of these trackers, potentially influencing market trends in personal item tracking technology.
