From its first beginning in 2013 the Chipolo Bluetooth tracker went through quite a few updates and new versions, each aimed to make the finder louder and the connection more stable.
While the insides have changed a lot, the outside only had a few minor changes made, since our users really liked the fun round shape (and how easy it is to pull out of pockets!)
If you're unsure which version of the Chipolo you have, the below guide should help clear things up. If not, feel free to contact our support team at help@chipolo.net and they can help you figure it out!
