Review: Chipolo ONE Spot undercuts AirTags on price with robust Find My integration and a rugged design

Chipolo ONE Spot

A few weeks ago, Apple debuted a new “Find My Certification Asst.” app today designed to let third-party companies test how their accessories will work with the Find My application. This news comes after Apple announced at WWDC 2020 that it would open up the Find My network to third-party products. Ahead of the debut of AirTags, Apple announced that Chipolo would be one of the early partners for Find My integration. I received an advanced unit ahead of the June release, and I can confidently say that it’s every bit as good as AirTags unless you want the U1 chip for precise item tracking. Read on to learn more about the Chipolo ONE Spot.

Ahead of Apple’s AirTags, Chipolo releases new environmentally-friendly item tracker

Chipolo is a popular item tracker for attaching to keys, wallets, etc. I reviewed the original Chipolo ONE back in January, and I’ve been using it ever since. I love its two-year replaceable battery, and subscription-free out of range alerts. Today, they’ve just released a new version of the Chipolo ONE that’s made from plastic waste collected from the oceans.

Chipolo ONE item tracker announced with two year battery, subscription-free out of range alerts

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been using the new Chipolo ONE item tracker as a replacement for my old Tile tracker that recently died (I had one of the ones with a non-replaceable battery). Chipolo ONE launches today with a number of features that make it worth considering over competitors. Despite the rumblings of Apple releasing AirTag sometime in 2020, Chipolo ONE is an affordable item tracker that is worth checking out.
