Perhaps for Find My/UWB support?

Find my works fine on a coin cell battery on AirTag, hard to imagine they need to power up the headphones to do the same.

Funny enough, the original and the new AirPods Max don't have UWB. That won't help me find my headphones in my house.

If for Find My, why stay in "low power" mode for days before moving to "ultralow power" mode? Is silly.

Wow, I had no idea they didn't have no UWB. Honestly that would remove half the value for me. That's crazy for Apple in 2026.
