Pebblebee isn’t an entirely new brand around here, we have featured deals on its new Android trackers and gone hands-on with its gear previously, but today it is introducing the “world’s first item trackers compatible with both Apple Find My and Google Find My Device Networks.” We have seen loads of Apple Find My trackers over the years – Nomad’s Tracking Card with wireless charging remains a favorite of mine – and even some lineups dabbling in both the Apple and Android space, but Pebblebee is looking to separate itself from the pack with its new Universal lineup that plays nice with both of tracking networks.
