                 Chipolo Card Spot Puts Find My in Your Wallet

   Josh Centers

   The AirTag is a powerful tracking device, but it won't easily fit into
   one of your most valuable possessions: your wallet. Over at Macworld,
   [1]Glenn Fleishman reviewed the Chipolo Card Spot, a credit-card-sized
   tracker that works with Apple's Find My network, which uses nearby
   Apple devices to relay signals from compatible trackers.

   The $35 Chipolo Card Spot sounds like a great solution to fears of lost
   or stolen wallets, but there are some caveats. Although it's the size
   of a credit card, it's as thick as three cards. It doesn't support
   Ultra Wideband precision finding that enables the Find My app to points
   you in the right direction with an exact distance. Also'most
   disappointingly'the battery isn't replaceable and has an estimated life
   of only 2 years. Chipolo offers a 50%-off replacement discount and
   recycles the dead unit, but that's still annoying and wasteful.
   Currently, the Chipolo Card Spot is [2]sold out and not shipping until
   May.
