>So with this in mind, would Jobs be wrong in stating that they don't track you? No he would be 100% accurate as a cache used to help save battery life isn't tracking you, its a cache.
You're taking the statement out of context. In context, the email was clearly asking about "passive location-tracking," i.e. the cache. If you have to take a statement out of context for it to be true, it is as I said, disingenuous to the point of being an outright fabrication.
Now, I do think Jobs was accurate in saying that Android does do similar caching, so I don't see why he would have (if this email is genuine, which I doubt) felt the need to falsely claim iOS doesn't.
- mitchty 16y agoThat still assumes the statement "passive location tracking" is true. It also equivocates a form of tracking to caching data. I don't hold as true that the two are equivalent. Comparable maybe.
