Two new Bluetooth trackers offer big improvements over the company’s previous models while maintaining compatibility with Apple’s Find My network, Chipolo said Wednesday. The Loop and Card trackers, both priced at $39, add rechargeable batteries and double their previous Blueooth range to 400 feet.
Chipolo Loop and Card Bluetooth trackers updated
The headlining feature of both new trackers: their rechargeable battery system. It delivers approximately six months of use on a single charge. That’s a major shift from Chipolo’s previous models, including the colorful Pop tracker, which required battery replacements. This upgrade speaks to both user convenience and environmental concerns.
Two designs for different use cases
hipolo Loop maintains the familiar round form factor of the popular Pop tracker but adds an integrated silicone attachment ring. Available in six colors including navy, mint, honey, coral, charcoal and chalk, Loop charges via USB-C and delivers alert volumes up to 125 decibels.
Chipolo Card takes a different approach, featuring a slim credit card-sized design in matte charcoal that’s specifically engineered to fit into wallets. The Card supports Qi wireless charging for added convenience and produces alerts at 110 decibels through a side-corner speaker.

Both trackers offer enhanced functionality compared to previous Chipolo models. The Bluetooth range has been doubled from 200 feet to 400 feet, providing better tracking coverage.
And both devices maintain IP67 water and dust resistance ratings, allowing them to withstand submersion in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes.
Find My integration and app features
iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch users can seamlessly integrate both trackers into Apple’s Find My network. The companion Chipolo app provides additional features including the ability to ring your iPhone even when it’s on silent, customizable alert sounds and a remote camera shutter function.
New features include Ring and Blink functionality, which illuminate the tracker while producing sound alerts, and adjustable volume controls for different environments. The app also supports out-of-range notifications to help prevent loss.
Chipolo built both devices using shells containing at least 50% post-consumer recycled plastic. The eco-friendly approach has already been recognized with Red Dot Design awards for 2025.
Both trackers are available for preorder through Chipolo’s website, and may be soon on Amazon. T-Mobile stores and select retailers join the distribution network later this fall.
