Does iOS 8's MAC address randomization give the actual MAC address once connected? iOS 8 is now implementing MAC address randomization, where it randomizes your MAC address to networks while searching for networks.

One article describes it as:


  One of those features, which is new in iOS 8, is the automatic
  randomization of MAC addresses when the device is searching for a
  Wi-Fi network. This makes it much more difficult to track a device by
  seeing which Wi-Fi networks have spotted its unique identifier.


However, once connected to a network, does it provide the true MAC address of the network card?
Yes. Even before you're connected, your device will give its real MAC address when you tap on a network to connect to it, to allow for MAC address filtering, etc.

MAC address randomisation is discussed in this Apple security guide:
