Well, such traffic goes OUT somewhere and that somewhere is other iDevices so that's traffic coming IN for them, no? I don't have evidence supporting either possibility other than the fact that there's indeed an obscure mesh network involved for "Find My" to operate. I hope this is the starting point to figuring out what their infrastructure does.

The repo shows traffic is bound to utun2 (IDSNexusAgent). That’s not a location beacon protocol… that’s an encrypted IP tunnel

[lucasar]

Yes, that is used to exchange information between iDevices. The "Find my" mechanism is proprietary and closed source, so you cannot categorically discard the possibility of iOS using such tunnel to send/receive/forward such information. Yes it could be something else. But if we want to be rigorous, we cannot discard possibilities we aren't 100% sure about.
