If you are using a wireless network at home or at work, you must have heard of a MAC address. For those of you who don’t know, a MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier that is assigned to a NIC (Network Interface Controller/ Card). It consists of a 48 bit or 64-bit address, which is associated with the network adapter. MAC address can be in hexadecimal format.
Every device has a unique MAC address, much like the IP address or even the IMEI number on your smartphone. When it comes to smartphones like the iPhone, it is really easy to check the MAC address of the device, but keep in mind, that locating and seeing the MAC address of your device is an activity you have to do alone. Revealing the MAC address to other people can put your device and network at risk, so please stay vigilant.
That said, let’s take a look at how you can find the MAC address on an iPhone.
