    Gotta love modern journalism.

    Such an attack is possible for a number of products like Android, but the report focuses on iPhone

    You can use a flipper on any device that uses WiFi, Bluetooth, or NFC. But throwing iPhone or Apple into a headline will get clicks.

    You can use a flipper for a LOT more than that too. You can steal and clone NFC chips like key fobs with them.

      I mean you can, but iPhones and some Android devices are the only common devices but I’m aware of that have fast pairing. Your Nintendo switch isn’t capable of having such a fast pairing pop-up
