    This reads pretty much misleading to me.

    They say the flipper could bomb phones within 30 ft range. Via NFC! I would even doubt them stating a range of 30 mm.

      That attack is via bluetooth, not NFC. And the article states exactly that (just checked).

      It mostly depends of the antenna setup.

      I’m fairly sure you can get several meters of range with an external antenna.
