[Question] why are all iphones (Apple devices) etc. found, are they only devices that are connected to an ipod or airtag or only have the myfind network activated? Not all iphones are found in the search. A question of understanding

Any apple device could be used to track someone. It doesn't have to be an airtag. If the Mac address falls in the apple range it is queried is my guess. Airtags and earpods are separated out.

Not all Apple devices are displayed in my area, why? Or only those that had an Airtag or Airpod connected ?

It's possible to create an AirTag like tracker that imitates an Apple device. These trackers can hide from Apple's tracking detection. We also check for them to make sure you are not tracked
