That's very unlikely: an address space of just 65K numbers would be left, which is orders of magnitude less than the number of iPhones produced.
Considering that each phone has at least two MACs (wifi and bluetooth), even the 16 millions that would be given by using the full 3 bytes look scarce.
I think that Apple has several OUIs. In fact, my iPhone's MAC doesn't have a single byte in common with the parent's.
- mmcnickle 14y agoYou're right, I didn't do the maths. This list[1] from 2010 shows that Apple has dozens of OUIs and I imagine the list is much, much longer now. [1]http://www.scribd.com/doc/42074577/Apple-OUI-List http://www.scribd.com/doc/42074577/Apple-OUI-List
- antirez 14y agoBut maybe given products use a small subset of their available addresses... Ok, there is a simple way, let's collectively compile a list of the HN users reading this thread having an iPhone. I'll start with: 4s - F0:CB:A1:xx:yy:zz (me) 4s - F0:CB:A1:xx:yy:zz (wife) 4s - F0:CB:A1:xx:yy:zz (friend) Please reply with your first three bytes.
- antirez 14y agoAnother friend of mine: 4s - 0C:77:1A:xx:yy:zz
- antirez 14y agoMy address was modified completely just to remove information about my actual address. Likely your first three bytes are: F0:CB:A1.
- ot 14y agoNo, it starts with D0:23
