Ugreen has unveiled the FineTrack 2, an Apple Find My-compatible tracker shaped like a soccer ball that delivers exceptional battery life despite its larger footprint.

The FineTrack 2 trades discretion for longevity. Unlike compact trackers such as Apple's AirTag, Ugreen's soccer ball design is intended for attachment to keys or bags rather than concealment in wallets or pockets. The device's spherical shape and larger size enable a battery life of up to 7 years—a significant advantage over competitors. The tracker draws inspiration from "major football tournaments," according to Ugreen's announcement. As an Apple Find My-compatible device, the FineTrack 2 integrates with Apple's ecosystem, allowing users to locate their belongings through the Find My app on iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Ugreen has not yet disclosed pricing or exact availability details for the FineTrack 2. The device represents an alternative approach to compact tracking solutions, prioritizing extended battery performance and visibility over minimal size.
