How is this not congruent with strong privacy protections? Your iPhone knows everywhere you’ve been, but when it sends that info to Apple it doesn’t include any

  Strong privacy would be not sending that information to Apple at all. (Do iPhones really send the current location to Apple?)

    I agree. I thought iPhones do theirs on-device.

      iPhone doesn’t need to do this as long as the system integrity is there because you can only install signed apps from them anyway so they already know what you’re running.

    Maps does for sure, it’s how they build traffic measures. They need to know how many (relatively) are using specific routes, but have no need to know who. Another case is WiFi mapping. Your phone helps build a database of WiFi network locations to improve your location accuracy, again they don’t need your personal identity to build that.
