> That's how accessory companies get around the Lightning port and MFi program in the future. Classic Bluetooth devices need an authentication co-processor to support the encrypted iAP protocol, and you can only buy those co-processors through Apple-approved vendors once you've been MFi certified. There's really no "getting around" MFi for Classic Bluetooth on Apple devices. Bluetooth LE devices can bypass MFi licensing, but do not have the bandwidth to support high fidelity audio.
