This could also be an intentional thing put into iOS to force an iPhone off Wi-Fi so it will connect to a Stingray device so traffic can be intercepted.

- lights0123 5y agoNo, because it requires you to have physical access to connect to it. If you have physical access, you could just turn off WiFi at that point. If you think that someone targeted would notice their WiFi turned off and turn it back on, they would definitely notice and probably become suspicious of that behavior shown in the video where WiFi automatically turns itself on and off rapidly.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoThey would need to know they're being targeted for them to be suspicious. Most people would see that happen and assume either a software bug or the screen had gotten wet. That said, I also find it unlikely this is a planned exploit.
