I remember reading that iOS 11 also come with MAC address randoming so that you can't be tracked by wifi.

Looks like it's been broken across nearly everything. Here's where I read about it. Anyone know if this is addressed? https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/researchers-b...
Pretty sure MAC randomisation has been in since iOS8.
It looks that way:

> An information disclosure existed because a stable MAC address was being used to scan for WiFi networks. This issue was addressed by randomizing the MAC address for passive WiFi scans.
