Well hang on a sec.  This isn't true.

If the iPhones were never allowed to connect to the network, would 
the problem have existed?

Evidently it did not exist until the iPhone was allowed to connect.

So what is it that was so peculiar about the iPhone that no other 
device connected to the network raised the behaviour?
