does this impact iOS wifi as well? My local HomeAssistant detects my phone on wifi for presence detection, and suddenly lately it's been all out of whack. it takes much longer to connect to wifi when I get home. and sometimes while home the presence status 'flickers', turning all the lights on/off. never used to happen

Could be. I've noticed my iPhone started to accidentally intermittently lose WiFi connection, only to reconnect again in ~3-5 seconds. I wasn't sure if this is iOS or UniFi AP bug, but I suppose it could be the former.

To add anecdata, I've been seeing the subject behavior on Meraki equipment across various firmware versions. I'm inclined to think this is an Apple-initiated issue.

As it happens, I'm also on a Unifi AP, so that's curious. Would not hesitate to assign blame there... Although, I have long since abandoned their automatic firmware updates which has really helped with stability, so I'm not sure what would've changed on the AP _recently_.

Yes. It impacts iOS / iPadOS as well.
