Awesome work! I can recommend people interested in the iOS/Apple ecosystem to check out the Secure Mobile Networking Lab of TU Darmstadt in general. They do a lot of cool stuff in the space, a good starting point might be https://owlink.org.

As a side note: I wonder what the story is on the whole AirTag hardware project. It's becoming so "delayed" that reverse engineered implementations are here before.

This isn't a reverse engineering of airtags - this find me service has been available for Apple devices via the same bluetooth mechanism (iPhones and MacBooks) for a couple of years now.

It has been available since iOS 13/macOS 10.15
