Apple’s Control Center has been available on the best iPhones for a decade now but a recent demonstration at a hacker convention has shed light on what the feature actually does.
As reported by Android Authority, security researcher Jae Bochs created a $70 gadget at this year’s Def Con, which he then used to send out custom alerts to convention goers who had iPhones. The device uses Bluetooth LE services, which allow Apple’s smartphones to communicate with one another, to display pop-up messages on any iPhone within range.
