They also aren't doing that. > Thanks to Apple, physical shops can track us through our phones Is this referring to Wifi or even 3/4g? I can't see how they can call this "Thanks to Apple", maybe it's something else? > What is left unsaid by Apple and others is that digitising the world entails surveilling it: recording everything, making it taggable, trackable, searchable – and hackable. I don't think many people would call something "surveillance" if it never leaves the phone, which is the case for almost everything Apple does in this regard. Yes, your phone known where you are at all times, but as long as Apple doesn't, is that an issue?
