Hi,

just wondered if apple supports WPA3 Opportunistic Wireless Encryption. I just added WPA3 OWE to my Cisco Meraki SSID and wondered that my apple devices (macOS and iOS) are unable to connect while android connects totally fine.

Would be great if there is any solution to get WPA3 OWE running with apple devices, as this is a big security improvement when you use public wireless networks.

I am also very interested in the current status of WPA3 OWE.

In my testing on Cisco 9k APs with WPA3+OWE, iPhones constantly initiate roams to new APs, even when standing still.

Cisco TAC has confirmed it's the phone itself initiating the roam, even with a great quality connection, so something is still not quite right with OWE.
