TIL Apple’s Find My app has an item limit (it’s 32).::MacRumors spotted that Apple added the figure to a support page recently, confirming an increase that has reportedly been in effect since 2022’s iOS 16. The previous limit was apparently 16. Compatible items include AirTags and other first-party headphones and accessories from Apple and Beats, and a range of third-party products.

I wonder what they're going to do with all those 27 bits saved by not using a regular integer

Maybe related to maybe some kind of mask in the Bluetooth Id of the device/item?

Interesting fact to know

You’d have to be pretty rich to have that be a problem.
