> "magic" They're on an proprietary extension of Bluetooth, standard compatible but closed to their devices. They usually don't talk much about it, Phil Schiller was the most explicit I think (it was about the airpod's W1 but it's the same deal) https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/7/12829190/apple-w1-chip-iph... > Apple’s Phil Schiller described Apple’s move to a new wireless chip as “fixing the challenges” of wireless audio | ||

The short answer is yes, it's proprietary shenanigans. Apple likes security for Apple peripherals connected to Apple iPhones, and they consciously undermine security of anything else. | ||
