AOP has been a thing since iPhone 6s, so they're not particularly rushed in documenting it.

I can't go too into details, but now that the AOP is doing cryptographical operations and key escrow, the internal bus is likely to show up in future documents. Maybe not the AOP but certainly the mechanisms it uses to interact with the find my network. It may also be a separate find my network whitepaper.

Is the AOP still involved in Find My, even on a 6s/6s Plus?

Edit: I read the TFA, which says 11 and up.
