 Here's another photo of how we used a Flipper Zero to broadcast spammy Bluetooth signals spoofing an AirTag to nearby devices. Using custom code from a researcher, we compiled the Flipper Zero firmware, and switched on Bluetooth to broadcast the signal. 

The researcher said these popups can be used to bombard and flood nearby iPhones with junk and spoof popups, and potentially over a wide area.

I'd honestly love to see an airtag jammer device that incapacitates the AirTag network with false traffic.

Because 1) I didn't sign up to be a part of a wireless tracking network, and 2) Such amazing technology (worldwide wireless mesh networking) should be for the betterment of humanity, not selling apple crap. :P
