iPhone 13，2021 年推出
如果你的 iPhone 使用的是旧版本的苹果手机操作系统(operating system)，在 iOS 14 之前，你只能看到你的MAC 地址(MAC address)，但你不能欺骗它。那是因为 iOS 13 及之前的版本不支持(t support) MAC 随机化(MAC randomization)。
此外，最重要的是要知道所有支持 MAC 随机化的 iPhone 默认情况下会自动欺骗所有 Wi-Fi 网络的 MAC 地址(all iPhones that support MAC randomization automatically spoof the MAC address for all Wi-Fi networks by default)。继续阅读以了解如何查找 iPhone 的MAC 地址(MAC address)，如何在 iOS 14 或更高版本中禁用MAC 地址(MAC address)随机化，以及如何再次进行欺骗。
如何在 iPhone 上查找MAC 地址(MAC address)
如果你想知道你的 iPhone 的真实MAC 地址(MAC address)，你应该做的第一件事就是打开设置(Settings)应用程序。然后，前往主屏幕(home screen)或iPhone 上的应用程序库，然后点击(App Library)设置(Settings)。
iPhone 上的“设置”应用
在设置(Settings)屏幕上，找到常规(General)条目并将其打开。
iPhone 设置中的常规条目(General entry)
接下来，在“常规(General)”屏幕上，点击页面顶部的“关于”。(About)
关于 iPhone 上的信息
现在，您的 iPhone 应该列出一系列有关其上的硬件和软件(hardware and software)的详细信息。找到名为Wi-Fi Address的条目。其右侧的数字系列是您 iPhone 的真实MAC 地址(MAC address)。
Wi-Fi 地址(Wi-Fi Address)是您 iPhone 的MAC地址(MAC address)
注意：(NOTE:)虽然正确的命名约定(naming convention)是MAC 地址(MAC address)，但Apple更喜欢将其称为Wi-Fi 地址(Wi-Fi Address)，可能是因为它感觉更友好。还是因为人们可能会将MAC地址与MAC计算机混淆？
如何在 iPhone 上禁用MAC地址随机化(MAC)
如前所述，所有运行 iOS 14 或更高版本的 iPhone 都支持MAC 随机化(MAC randomization)并默认启用。如果您连接到基于您设备的MAC 地址强制执行规则的(MAC address)Wi-Fi网络，这可能会带来一些问题。如果您遇到这种情况，您可能需要在 iPhone 上禁用MAC 随机化。(MAC randomization)但是请注意，Apple不会让您同时为所有Wi-Fi网络关闭它。您需要在要禁用MAC 随机化(MAC randomization)的每个Wi-Fi网络上重复后续步骤。这是如何做：
打开设置(Settings)应用程序并点击Wi-Fi。
在 iPhone 上打开 Wi-Fi 设置
现在点击您要使用真实MAC 地址的(MAC address)Wi-Fi 网络(Wi-Fi network)右侧的i按钮。
点击 Wi-Fi 网络
找到私人 Wi-Fi 地址(Private Wi-Fi Address)开关并将其关闭以禁用iPhone 上的MAC 地址(MAC address)欺骗。请注意，当开关打开时，在其下方，您可以看到被欺骗的Wi-Fi 地址(Wi-Fi Address)。
要在 iPhone 上禁用MAC地址随机化，请禁用(MAC)Private Wi-Fi Address 开关(Private Wi-Fi Address switch)
当您在 iPhone 上禁用MAC 地址(MAC address) 随机化功能(randomization feature)时，对于您当前连接的Wi-Fi ，iOS 会通知您(Wi-Fi)“关闭私人地址将暂时中断您的 Wi-Fi 连接”。(“Turning off private address will temporarily interrupt your Wi-Fi connection.”)点击继续(Continue)以应用更改。
更改iPhone 上的MAC 地址可能会暂时断开您与(MAC address)Wi-Fi 的连接(Wi-Fi)
当私人 Wi-Fi 地址(Private Wi-Fi Address)开关关闭时，其下方的Wi-Fi 地址(Wi-Fi Address)会显示您的真实MAC 地址(MAC address)，而不是伪造的。
(MAC address)在 iPhone 上禁用MAC 地址欺骗
此外，在Wi-Fi屏幕上，如果您为所连接的网络禁用MAC 地址(MAC address)欺骗，iOS 将在其下方显示“隐私警告”(“Privacy Warning”)消息。让它消失的唯一方法是再次启用MAC 随机化(MAC randomization)。
在 iPhone 上，当MAC 欺骗(MAC spoofing)关闭时，您会收到 Wi-Fi 隐私警告
如何在 iPhone 上欺骗MAC 地址(MAC address)
如果您改变主意并想再次在 iPhone 上欺骗您的MAC 地址怎么办？(MAC address)在这种情况下，您所要做的就是重复本指南上一节中的相同步骤，然后打开(guide and turn)私人Wi-Fi 地址(Private Wi-Fi Address)开关。
启用私人 Wi-Fi 地址(Private Wi-Fi Address)以在 iPhone 上欺骗您的MAC 地址(MAC address)
切换专用 Wi-Fi 地址(Private Wi-Fi Address )开关后，您会在 iPhone 上为所选网络获得一个新的欺骗MAC 地址(MAC address)。
MAC地址(MAC address)在iPhone上被欺骗
而已！
为什么你想知道如何在 iPhone 上欺骗MAC 地址？(MAC address)
现在您知道如何找到您的 iPhone 的真实MAC 地址(MAC address)，如何在 iOS 14 或更高版本中禁用MAC 随机化(MAC randomization)，以及如何欺骗您的MAC 地址(MAC address)。你想知道这一切的原因是什么？它是否与您组织的网络管理员实施的限制有关？请在评价部分留下您的意见。

iPhone 13, launched in 2021
If you have an iPhone with an older version of Apple’s mobile operating system, before iOS 14, you can only see your MAC address, but you can’t spoof it. That’s because iOS 13 and previous versions don’t support MAC randomization.
Also, it’s of the utmost importance to know that all iPhones that support MAC randomization automatically spoof the MAC address for all Wi-Fi networks by default. Read on to see how to find what’s your iPhone’s MAC address, how to disable MAC address randomization in iOS 14 or later, and how to spoof it again.
How to find the MAC address on an iPhone
If you want to know your iPhone’s real MAC address, the first thing you should do is open the Settings app. Then, head to the home screen or the App Library on your iPhone and tap Settings.
The Settings app on an iPhone
On the Settings screen, locate the General entry and open it.
The General entry from an iPhone's Settings
Next, on the General screen, tap About at the top of the page.
About information on an iPhone
Now, your iPhone should list a series of details about the hardware and software on it. Find the entry named Wi-Fi Address. The series of numbers on its right side is the real MAC address of your iPhone.
The Wi-Fi Address is your iPhone's MAC address
NOTE: Although the proper naming convention is MAC address, Apple prefers to call it Wi-Fi Address, probably because it feels friendlier. Or is it because people might confuse MAC addresses with MAC computers?.
How to disable MAC address randomization on iPhones
As mentioned earlier, all iPhones that run iOS 14 or later support MAC randomization and enable it by default. That can pose some problems if you connect to Wi-Fi networks that enforce rules based on your device’s MAC address. If that’s the case for you, you might want to disable MAC randomization on your iPhone. However, note that Apple doesn’t let you turn it off for all Wi-Fi networks at once. You need to repeat the next steps on each and every Wi-Fi network for which you want to disable MAC randomization. Here’s how:
Open the Settings app and tap on Wi-Fi.
Opening the Wi-Fi settings on an iPhone
Now tap the i button from the right side of the Wi-Fi network for which you want to use your real MAC address.
Tapping on an Wi-Fi network
Find the Private Wi-Fi Address switch and turn it off to disable MAC address spoofing on your iPhone. Note that, when the switch is on, under it, you can see the spoofed Wi-Fi Address.
To disable MAC address randomization on an iPhone, disable the Private Wi-Fi Address switch
When you disable the MAC address randomization feature on an iPhone, for the Wi-Fi to which you’re currently connected, iOS notifies you that “Turning off private address will temporarily interrupt your Wi-Fi connection.” Tap Continue to apply the change.
Changing the MAC address on an iPhone can briefly disconnect you from Wi-Fi
When the Private Wi-Fi Address switch is off, the Wi-Fi Address underneath it shows you your real MAC address instead of a spoofed one.
MAC address spoofing was disabled on an iPhone
Also, on the Wi-Fi screen, if you disabled the MAC address spoofing for the network to which you’re connected, iOS will show a “Privacy Warning” message under it. The only way to make it go away is to enable MAC randomization again.
On iPhones, you get a Wi-Fi Privacy Warning when MAC spoofing is off
How to spoof the MAC address on an iPhone
What if you changed your mind and want to spoof your MAC address on your iPhone again? In this case, all you have to do is repeat the same steps as in the previous section of this guide and turn on the Private Wi-Fi Address switch.
Enable the Private Wi-Fi Address to spoof your MAC address on an iPhone
Once you toggle the Private Wi-Fi Address switch, you get a new spoofed MAC address on your iPhone, for the selected network.
The MAC address is spoofed on an iPhone
That’s it!
Why did you want to know how to spoof the MAC address on an iPhone?
Now you know how to find your iPhone’s real MAC address, how to disable MAC randomization in iOS 14 or later, and also how to spoof your MAC address. What were your reasons for wanting to know all that? Did it have to do with restrictions enforced by your organization’s network administrator? Let us know in the comments section.
