Apple IOS8 uses a random MAC address to send probe request for the real purpose

It is now well known that Apple in the new iPhone6 will use a random MAC address to send probe request

According to Apple's own propaganda, and now everyone's understanding

Apple has taken full account of everyone's privacy issues, to avoid the mobile phone MAC address leakage

According to the current test situation, IPhone6 only sends a random MAC when the black screen is dormant.

So on the other hand,

Can not send any wireless message when the phone is dormant

This is more reasonable, and protect the phone MAC address does not leak

But Apple keeps sending probe request, just using a random MAC address.

In fact, the real purpose of Apple is to collect the hotspot information around the AP

And the so-called consideration of protecting user privacy is just a beautiful lie.
