I can believe iOS doesn’t offer protection against this garbage. There’s no way to connect a phone to something and on the device side say “this is an untrusted connection; don’t give it shit”.

It’s especially frustrating with rental cars. But I don’t even trust my own personal car!

For what it's worth, in the iOS Bluetooth settings, "Show Notifications" is code for Message Access Protocol and "Sync Contacts" is code for Phone Book Access Protocol. It would be nice if they'd add an extra "Pair but Don't Trust" button, though.

The feature you're looking for doesn't really sound like the nontechnical "it just works" experience they're advertising.

Check out GrapheneOS if you have yet to!
