Got my Chipolo ONE Point! First impressions: yep, it’s a little Bluetooth item tracker. 😁

Interestingly, it has a button just like the standard Chipolo ONE, but it doesn’t do anything after the initial pairing. No ring-your-phone feature or anything… I wonder if that’s something Google will add to the Find My Device network/spec later? Not a big deal, I almost exclusively trigger that accidentally on my Tiles. 😅

Also, no explicit integration. 🤔

I ordered these LITERALLY a YEAR AGO to the day, and they JUST ARRIVED!
Apple stalled the Google location tracker network for as long as they could, but now we FINALLY have some competition for AirTags!

Ich habe einen gekauft um zu testen, ob er zum Fahrradtracking taugt. Laut Marketing nutzt er ja das Apple "Find My"-Netzwerk.

Ich habe ihn jemandem auf eine Zugreise quer durch Deutschland mitgegeben. Knapp 20h Fahrzeit, 8 Umstiege, also viele Züge, viele Bahnhöfe, oft mit viel Zeit. Gleich am Anfang als verloren gemeldet.

Was soll ich sagen: Heute wurde er gefunden. Erstmalig. Genau, als wir uns wieder trafen, um das Ding zurückzugeben. 🤦

My came! It's way lighter than I expected but I'm not sure why I expected it to be heavier/denser. Setup was super easy and it also supports the new Find My sharing in iOS 17. I was kind of worried that it was limited to Apple-branded Find My items but it worked fine. It is almost exactly twice as thick as this example card (my library card) and it fit in standard wallet slot with no issue.
