Flipper Zero can still crash iPhones running the latest version of iOS 17

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/11/flipper_iphone_ios17_attack.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1333)</div><p>In September, 9to5Mac reported  (https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/05/flipper-zero-spam-iphone-fake-bluetooth/)that Flipper Zero, a popular and cheap hacking tool, was being used to wreak havoc on nearby iPhones and iPads, spamming them with fake Bluetooth pop-ups until they eventually crashed. </p>



<p>Despite many iOS 17 updates since, including last week’s release of new iOS 17.2 betas (https://9to5mac.com/2023/11/15/apple-releases-third-developer-betas-for-watchos-10-2-and-visionos-beta-6/), Apple has yet to implement safeguards to prevent the attack. So, what gives?</p>
