New updates to iOS, the iPhone and iPad operating system, often add new features and security features. This time is no exception. The new iOS 17.2 update protects iPhone users from the "Flipper Zero" attack.

"Flipper Zero", which was accused of rendering iPhones unusable, no longer works. The "Flipper Zero" is a popular hacking device that looks like a children's arcade machine.

Since it's made of simple plastic, it can carry out attacks like signal jamming and DID, rendering the device temporarily unusable. There have been recent complaints about disabling iPhones using Flipper Zero since the iOS 17 update.

A group of hackers used Flipper Zero to wirelessly send "pop-ups" to iPhones via Bluetooth. This resulted in many people’s iPhones being temporarily unusable.

To avoid this attack, the iPhone's Bluetooth must always be turned off. A group of users confirmed that the Flipper Zero attack has stopped working recently.

Checked: Flipper Zero appears on iPhone but does not damage it. This is believed to be happening since the new iOS 17.2 update for iPhones.

While Apple hasn't revealed anything yet, those who haven't updated their iPhones yet should do so as soon as possible.
