But your iPhone trusts these devices.

> there is a simple way to stop this attack, which is to disable bluetooth

This doesn't work, I've already tried it with my iPhone and a friend's Flipper.

Interesting. Turning bluetooth off via settings doesn't mitigate it? What about disabling AirDrop and Find My?

I didn't try that, but I doubt it will help either. This is a BLE-based attack, you can't disable BLE.

Really? I always assumed turning off bluetooth would disable BLE too. That's annoying...

I'd be interested to know if disabling Find My will stop the attack. Also Airplane mode (you can enable WiFi while in Airplane mode, I think).
