It seems RAW they could go a few directions:

1. They make AirTags follow the same rules as every other app.

2. They introduce a new toggle that users can grant to Tile that gives them the same abilities as AirTags.

3. They introduce a new entitlement that can be granted to developers who apply for that give them the access that AirTags has.

They've taken #3 for both alternative stores and web downloads so I imagine that would take it here.

If that ends up meaning that competitors can make Bluetooth headphones with the functionalities of Airpods, I'm all for it !
