José Adorno, 9to5Mac:

In April, Apple officially opened the Find My network to third-party products with Chipolo ONE Spot, Belkin’s SOUNDFORM Freedom, and VanMoof’s latest S3 and X3 e-bikes. Now, the AirTag competitor Chipolo ONE Spot is available to pre-order.

Price is $28 for one, $90 for four. Here’s a link to the preorder page.

Chipolo ONE Spot has a keyring hole that attaches directly to the keyring

Puzzled why the AirTag does not have a keyring hole. Simply so Apple can sell keyring cases?

Although it’s water-resistant, it has an iPX5 rate, which means it can resist a sustained, low-pressure water jet spray, while AirTag has IP67, which can be submerged up to one meter in water for 30 minutes.

Interesting. That might matter if you lose your keys in, say, a lake. Waiting for a story like that to pop up.

Chipolo says this item tracker is “easy to hear” with a speaker that gets up to 120dB.

Not clear how this compares to AirTag (the AirTag tech specs for Speaker simply says, “Built-in speaker”).

As far as I can tell, the ONE Spot does not support NFC, so add that to the list of AirTag differences.
