Skip the AirTag and buy this Bluetooth tracker rival instead - here's why it's better
"What if there was a super-loud finder tag that had a built-in loop for attaching to a keychain, and a battery that can be recharged using USB-C. That sounds great, right? Also: I tucked a stealthy $15 tracker into my favorite jacket - now I no longer travel without it That's exactly what the Chipolo Loop offers. But there are some gotchas to bear in mind."
"The Loop works with Apple Find My and Google Find Hub Device networks, so it's compatible with hundreds of millions of smartphones out there, allowing you to find your lost items no matter where you are (which is handy when you leave your keys in a random riad in Marrakech... speaking from experience). First, the battery is rechargeable, and when it needs topping up -- every six months or so -- you can use any handy USB-C cable."
Chipolo Loop is a rechargeable Bluetooth tracker with a built-in silicone loop designed for attachment to keyrings, bags, or pets. It recharges via USB-C and typically needs topping up every six months, removing the need for disposable CR2032 batteries. The Loop connects to Apple Find My and Google Find Hub Device networks to enable wide location coverage through many smartphones. Its speaker outputs 115 dB, substantially louder than an AirTag, improving audible retrieval. The silicone loop is durable but cannot be removed or replaced if damaged. The Chipolo app adds phone-ringing, Android-only out-of-range alerts, ringtone changes, and remote shutter features.
