Android devices should gain this capability in the future.

Gross, please no. I don't care how much cryptography they use, I still hate the idea of being opted-in to my personal hardware being part of a corporate run botnet for tracking devices.

    You should not have to. This is not how device ownership should work. I don't want to own any devices that were designed by people who think this is a reasonable thing to do.

    They're giving Android phones the ability to detect Apple tags so you can notice you have one "following" you. You won't be providing GPS updates to Apple as I understand it, nor will you be able to use Apple tags without an iPhone.
