Yup, there was a project recently that used the airtag network to transmit data from a hardware keylogger. The computer could be totally gapped and the data still gets home via the typist's iPhone.

It's not airgapped if it has bluetooth access.

Presumably you stick the bluetooth antenna in the physical keylogger.
