    It sounds like you may have used a fake iPhone.

    Edit: I can hardly care about the downvotes, but if you think iPhones or Apple devices cannot disable Bluetooth you should maybe pick one up and try it. If you fail you get a free diaper. If you succeed I have a job offer in tech for you.

      My bad for exaggerating. Yes, you can permanently disable bluetooth on iphone, but iphone users are less likely to do so compared to android users. This is by design because apple needs the majority of users to have their bluetooth turned on for their find my network. This made bluetooth-based security issue more impactful in apple ecosystem than in android.

      Now that Google is planning to do the same in android, I’m worried that it’ll be even worse than in apple ecosystem simply because most android phones have much shorter support period. This means future bluetooth vulnerabilities might remain unpatched in some phones and those phones will be more likely to have bluetooth turned on.

          Why can’t we discuss some topics without resorting to personal attack? If you disagree with something, you can always refute it without being a dick.
