I think these latest sets of wifi flaws are interesting if it turns out they are exploitable by merely being in radio range of an attacker even without joining a malicious network or requiring user interaction. That could quickly become a fast and wormable attack. You could probably flood across an entire city jumping from chip to chip in no time.

Especially now that iOS 11's wifi-off button in the control center no longer actually disables the radio, but merely disassociates from the current access point.
