Apple devices have been found to phone home much less frequently than the alternative.
>A new study has found that a stationary iPhone sends data 50 times less frequently to Google's servers than a stationary Android phone.
That's according to a 55-page report titled 'Google Data Collection', carried out by Professor Douglas C Schmidt, professor of computer science at Vanderbilt University.
The study comes as Google faces criticism and now a lawsuit over the revelation that turning off Location History does stop it tracking iPhone and Android users' location.
