"Apple Demo" and "Apple Store" are listed as know wifi networks.

I can't delete these two networks from the list: "Apple Demo" and "Apple Store". I can delete (forget) other networks, but when I remove these, they re-appear in the list.


This iPhone 13 Mini was purchased brand new from Apple's website a couple years ago. It was never used as a demo or floor model, and I was the first owner. I'm trying to "forget" all non-private networks because they open me up to spoofed wifi attacks.


If Apple forces us to have these networks as auto join (which this also does, I can't turn off auto-join) then a spoofer could just create a network with that name and any iPhones nearby, like on a plane, will automatically connect to it. This has happened before with other public network names.


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :)

I’ll assume no profiles are loaded, and the iPhone is not managed or supervised.


I’ve had (two?) cases over the years where I’ve had to disable iCloud Keychain on all logged-in devices, restart all, then remove the Wi-Fi network, then re-enable iCloud Keychain, and re-add it, and restart and re-enable the other devices logged i to the same Apple Account.


If not… Check with Apple Support, as there’s either something odd with that iPhone, or with its keychain.
