We conducted KNOB attacks on more than 17 unique Bluetooth chips (by attacking 24 different devices)," explained the researchers. "At the time of writing, we were able to test chips from Broadcom, Qualcomm, Apple, Intel, and Chicony manufacturers. All devices that we tested were vulnerable to the KNOB attack.

But heres why its so much worse for iPhone and iPad users: in its security notes Apple confirmed the iPhone 5s and later, iPad Air and later, and iPod touch 6th generation and later (aka every iOS 11 and iOS 12 compatible device dating back to 2013) are vulnerable to it and a patch was issued in iOS 12.4 (bug code CVE-2019-9506). But, in case you have been living under a rock, iOS 12.4 contains a staggering exploit which allows hackers to remotely jailbreak your iPhones and install malicious code.
