The news article explained it. Normally, only the authorities can look into your location via GPS. Just like the authorities can look into your texting records if they find it might give a clue on the case.Ephraim J. Witchwood said:So does every other smartphone on the market (I call bullshit on the Android not doing it). Why is this news?
The iPhone allows ANYONE to download where you've been if you know how to read the text file.
This as well, not just anyone is allowed to trace a call and find out where it came from. The information is stored, but a phone call must be connected for 30 seconds to be traced. This is just. Every hour "PING! He's here! ......... PING! Now he's here!"Aeshi said:How is this news? Just about any company can do this via tracing calls, Apple is just less subtle about it.
