Saw a few comments in the initial threads about it confidently claiming Apple wouldn’t be able to keep Beeper Mini out since doing so would mess with iOS too.

Super weird to be so sure about that when they obviously didn’t know shit about it.

All they need to do is look for which Apple devices are being used as proxies and blacklist them

Not in this one, iirc they actually reverse engineered and were working off of apple libraries, rather than proxies.

Does it make a difference? They still need to use Apple accounts and spoof real devices (serial numbers, etc, I'm guessing)
