Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I noticed that on both on my iphone (7plus) and ipad air my mac addresses changes, causing the dhcp server to complain about nodename having changed a mac address.
Anyone else experienced this?
iPad mini, iOS 9
There is a new privacy feature included within iOS/iPadOS14 that hides your physical MAC Address - and instead uses a randomly selected Private MAC Address. This feature can be enabled/disabled on your iPhone/iPad for each configured WiFi Network:
Settings > WiFi > [WiFi Network Name / SSID] > Private Address - set to OFF to disable
More information about this new feature can be found here:
