Googling, it seems the iOS process is (far) more complex than is Android
for spoofing the MAC address of the access point (because Apple keeps
breaking it with every new OS release, apparently).

So, in essence, you can't spoof the access point MAC address on any recent
iOS version...
https://gist.github.com/pwnsdx/b39e961b6d719bd2aab0

But, if you try, these are the minimum requirements:
a. A jailbroken iOS device
b. MobileTerminal package or any SSH terminal to execute commands on the
iOS device
c. developer-cmds & network-cmds packages (available on Cydia).

But the problem is that Apple prevents you from doing this (as Apple
prevents you from doing most things you can do on all other platforms).

Details here:

Where the author concludes: 
 "So, my best-mac-tip when it comes to spoofing your MAC address on an iOS
device is simply that you can┤. This lack of user control (i.e.
customisation) is just one of the many reasons why I use Android phones and
tablets."
