    You can be a random person walking in a busy metro area and happen to get in range of someone who is scanning for a particular device to use a side-channel attack on. You don’t have to be a POI.

    I guess if you’re broadcasting all the beacons your phone can be pawned even if you miss the last month OS update on your latest, greatest, shiny toy. This is just inevitable.

      You can always go the iPhone route and have Apple support your device for over six years. And you don’t have to buy a phone for a very long time.
