"In the next major iOS software release the cache will also be encrypted on the iPhone."
Great, thanks a lot! Now I no longer have the option of viewing what law enforcement will be able to get anyways. Nor will I have access to what essentially was a pretty neat database to look through.
- eli 15y agoNot to sound flip, but if you're concerned about law enforcement tracking your movements, you should leave the phone at home.
- jkahn 15y agoNot flippant at all. Law enforcement can track where you are through your telco even if you don't have a fancy phone. And they can do it live.
- pieter 15y agoThat probably only works for local telco's. With Apple's info, US agencies can track anyone with an iPhone in the world, even if the telco's there don't want to cooperate.

- delphi42 15y agoTrue -- or don't use a cell-phone at all: http://news.cnet.com/Cell-phone-tracking-raises-privacy-issues/2100-1033_3-846744.html http://news.cnet.com/Cell-phone-tracking-raises-privacy-issu.... I guess what I really meant was I'm happier knowing what they're keeping. Future versions may add other features of interest & we'll never know. I wonder what this story would have been like if this database was originally encrypted & then it was discovered. "Apple attempts to hide location tracker on your iPhone via encryption!"
