I'm talking about iOS not currently detecting the upcoming trackers compatible with Google's Find My Device network, which is delaying Google's deployment (Google's justification is that they don't want to release the product unless iOS can detect them).

Oh sorry my bad!

In that case, I think it's pretty poor that Apple hasn't made any progress on this after having the specs available for so long, also considering you can already get your hands on third party Android apps that can arbitrarily use BLE to detect all kinds of nearby devices.

To me it feels like Apple is trying to saturate as much of the market as they can before they bake in support for third party tracker detection
