Chipolo Discount Code

Losing your keys isn’t the end of the world. But it does sometimes feel like the beginning of a particularly inefficient scavenger hunt - usually five minutes after you really needed to leave. Which is probably why Bluetooth trackers have continued to exist despite, or perhaps because of, how minor and mundane their proposition is: your stuff goes missing, and they help you find it. Chipolo, a Slovenian company that's been quietly turning that small promise into a sustainable business since 2013, has just released its latest entrant - the Chipolo POP.

The POP is, by design and name, pitched as a lively, updated alternative to its predecessors. Brighter. Bolder. Allegedly better in every meaningful sense. It’s also meant to work almost seamlessly with both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s newer Find My Device system, without requiring you to choose between them - assuming you have the right device, running the right version of the right software, in the right country. Details, yes, but the sort that matter.

What It Is (And Isn’t)

The Chipolo POP is a coin-sized Bluetooth tracker (roughly the size of a bottlecap, but slightly less satisfying to open) that you attach to something you frequently misplace - keys, backpack, jacket, dignity - and then "find" using your phone. It’s available in several colours, because visual personality shares shelf space with functionality in this category. The £30 price tag per device isn’t outrageous, and there’s a free shipping deal if you hit £50, which is to say, two POPs or one POP and one burst of optimistic over-planning.

Unlike the more expensive Chipolo CARD or Spot, the POP doesn’t rely heavily on ultra-wideband (UWB) or similar advanced locating tech. It’s Bluetooth-based, limited to a max range of about 60–120 metres under ideal conditions (meaning: an empty warehouse, no walls, no Wi-Fi congestion, and no physics). But it leans into simplicity. A double press on the device can make your phone ring, even if it's on silent - a small but satisfying reversal of roles.

Integration: Two Networks Walking Into a Bar

One of the banner features of the POP is its compatibility with both Apple’s Find My and Google’s recently expanded Find My Device networks. It’s a rare device that can switch allegiance like this - most trackers still pick a side. The catch: You can only choose one network at setup. Want to switch? You’ll need to reset the POP and reassign it through the right app. It’s not hard, but it’s also not as plug-and-play as it sounds in a marketing email.

Incidentally, you don’t need both the Apple Find My app and the Chipolo app for Apple users - it’s either-or. For Google users, Google’s Find My will work natively, but to take advantage of more niche features - like making the POP ring or accessing leftover features from pre-integration - you’ll still want the Chipolo app. It’s not bloatware, but you may find yourself wondering which app you actually need. The answer likely depends on which tech ecosystem annoys you the least.

Build, Sustainability, and the Quiet Virtue of Not Breaking

The POP is, according to Chipolo, made in Europe - something they mention with a calm confidence that suggests it actually matters. About half of each unit uses recycled plastics, which is more than most companies bragging about "eco" branding, and less than would allow them to use the word "planet" in all-caps without irony. Either way: it feels solid enough to withstand a year on your keychain, or two accidental trips through the washer.

It’s IPX5 water-resistant, which roughly translates to "fine in rain, angry in oceans." No replaceable battery here - when the non-rechargeable cell dies (about a year’s worth of misplacing later), you get a discount for a replacement under Chipolo’s renewal program, a not-bad hedge against planned obsolescence. You return your old one (which they’ll recycle) and score a new one for less.

Shipping, Refunds, Calendrical Regret

Shipping is free if your order is over £50. Otherwise, you’re looking at about £5 for standard delivery, and roughly 5–7 business days for it to arrive in an envelope that, ironically, you may one day need the tracker to locate. Returns are straightforward: there’s a 30-day money back guarantee. No hoops, no condescending copy from a chatbot - just a return label and a quiet moment of buyer’s remorse. Not that you’ll need it, but it’s comforting to know it's there.

Final Thoughts: A Pop of Color. A Modest Utility.

Here’s the thing about Bluetooth trackers. They are useful, until you forget you own them. But in the brief and predictable arc of losing and finding your keys, the Chipolo POP does exactly what it claims to do, in a colourful plastic shell that doesn’t clash with your front door. The audio chime is sufficiently loud, though not loud enough to hear over a running dryer or a toddler’s tantrum. As for innovation, this is more about iteration - the slow, necessary kind. No drama. No magic. Just a slightly smarter way to not be late again.

It won’t change your life. But it might save you 90 seconds twice a week. Small wins, as they say.
