> all iOS devices would begin reporting nearby devices' locations back to Apple

Just to clarify for others - its not that all iOS devices will report the location of all other devices, but rather "lost" devices will emit a (BLE?) signal, which nearby Apple devices will report its location back to Apple.

How would a lost device know it was lost? The Wired piece on this suggests that all devices are always broadcasting their location:

I'm trying to find sources, but its alluding me at the moment, but my understanding was that when a device is offline for long enough, it freaks out and starts emitting its key.
