Hmm I definitely see my family phones get new MAC addresses from time to time. Maybe the cadence at which they refresh is just irregular?

- iimblack 3y ago> Starting with iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and watchOS 7, your device improves privacy by using a different MAC address for each Wi-Fi network. This unique MAC address is your device's private Wi-Fi address, which it uses for that network only. In some cases, your device will change its private Wi-Fi address: If you erase all content and settings or reset network settings on the device, your device uses a different private address the next time it connects to that network. Starting with iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and watchOS 8, if your device hasn’t joined the network in 6 weeks, it uses a different private address the next time it connects to that network. And if you make your device forget the network, it will also forget the private address it used with that network, unless it has been less than 2 weeks since the last time it was made to forget that network. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102509 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102509
