Thought I would find out how much these cost straight from AliExpress, seems like searching for "bluetooth lightning" finds a lot of these.

Spoiler: Apple EarPod clones cost about $1.59, with free shipping over $10. Crazy.

For comparison, I read that the MFi license fee is $4 which is far more than the cost of the headphones themselves.
