That's great news!

Question is, from which version onwards can we enable the TLS profiles then.

If you'd happen to know if this already started working a few releases
back, we'd have a good indicator (I only have iOS 12 here).

If not, we could always split out the "iOS 7+" button into a "iOS 7-11"
and "iOS 12+" where only the 12+ has EAP-TLS marked as usable.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
