I think this particular point is what the article wishes to drive home. It seems awfully convenient that Apple is the only entity that can still obtain the user's location after giving them a user experience that makes it seem they have complete control over every possible feature that could access that information...
- uonyx 7y agoConvenient system services such as "Find My iPhone"... this title is dramatic.
- joshfraser 7y agoFind my iPhone is toggled off though.
- djrogers 7y ago> Apple is the only entity that can still obtain the user's location Do you know that to be the case - ie is Apple obtaining your location, or is it your device obtaining your location?
- ducadveritatem 7y ago>It seems awfully convenient that Apple is the only entity that can still obtain the user's location Except there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that this is the case. All that is established is that if the user has explicitly opted in to the global location services option, then the device (system) does indeed periodically access location data. No one is alleging that any information is available to or shared with Apple outside of the established methods documented in the privacy policy.
