First of all, this attack sin't constrained to smartphones - it would be folly to ignore the hundreds of millions of laptops/desktops that use bluetooth mice and keyboards in every office.
Second, most people I know with smartphones have bluetooth headsets, car stereos, or Apple watches that use bluetooth. Turning BT on every time you want to use those isn't terrible (swipe up control center, tap BT icon), but it does get old.
- brndnmtthws 9y agoFair enough, although I don't think I've ever used Bluetooth on my Macbook. It's unreliable and a pain to pair devices, so it's pretty much always easier to just plug a cable in, or connect over WiFi (if possible). Bluetooth is the Microsoft Bob of connectivity.
- bhhaskin 9y agoAll of Apples wireless keyboards and mice use bluetooth. It is literally the first requirement listed.
