Earlier, a security researcher discovered and reported a remote code execution vulnerability or a vulnerability that allows an attacker to wipe all iOS devices. @RobertCFO tweeted on Wednesday that it was able to use this low-power Bluetooth vulnerability that can be attacked at close range to wipe affected iPhone and iPad devices without access, and will provide a proof-of-concept demonstration in the future.
POC? RCE up to 15.0.X ~ High level proximity based Bluetooth LE exploit to remote wipe iDevices based on proximity alone! No physical device access.
In short can put a laptop in a backpack and ride a bike in a city wiping iPhones 🙂

Apple readily acknowledged this problem and said it will be fixed in iOS 15.1. At the same time, @RobertCFO is required to keep the email and exploit details confidential until the patch is officially launched.
