Apple’s Privacy Faux Pas: Late but Laudable Fixes in the iOS 17.1 Update
Our knight in shining armor, the iPhone Private Wi-Fi Address Fix, turned out to be more of a knight in aluminum foil. Apple finally decided to upgrade its armor, fixing the issue with iOS 17.1. So, if you were flashing your MAC address instead of cloaking it, don’t fret, the real protection has finally arrived.
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, looks like Apple's been serving us a heaping plate of "privacy protection" with a side of "not really". The Private Wi-Fi Address feature that was supposed to be our knight in shining armor against MAC address snoopers has been more like a knight in aluminum foil for the past three years. But don't worry, Apple's finally decided to get its act together and fix the issue with the iOS 17.1 update. Better late than never, right?
