>> From the first thread on this issue[0], it appears that the GPS data transfer exchange is happening underneath the OS level. > It's using the cell tower location. If you don't connect to the cell tower (Airplane mode), there's no location. So you're saying that person quite explicitly saying this is GPS data is explicitly wrong about this? (i.e. you have more information than that person, and it is explicitly to the contrary?)

  That person was clearly claiming to have 'insider' information. I'm not sure why one would expect Krebs to have been privy to the same information.
