And the vulnerability used was published a year ago ... Makes you wonder what Apple was thinking ...

Apple doesn't have to think as they are a fashion marketing company first  :-DD
Electronics gadgets are just a means for the overall business model

And what would a "responsible company" do in their place? Don't use any nr52 chips at all? It's not like Apple could do anything about this vulnerability, except not putting any sensitive information like symmetric keys in the firmware, which should be standard practice anyways.

Yeah not much they can do.

AirTags 2 will have their own core in it probably based on what they are doing. They have built their own silicon after being screwed over by crap like this from suppliers. It's 5G blocks already on the table.

The NRF does bluetooth and NFC, so what exactly is the purpose of the larger apple IC?
Supposedly BL5 range is up to 200m as it is.

Good video.
