> Apple would easily win any case that argued otherwise. Why?

  Perhaps I overstepped my IANAL boundaries there. But I think it shouldn’t be too difficult for Apple’s lawyers to argue that functionality built into the OS to protect location data or control the cellular radio are distinct from say, Apple’s first party Podcasts or Music apps.

    A judge should be unimpressed if Apple simultaneously argued that they need to protect users from apps which track your location data, and that they need to deny those users the ability to install apps which stop mobile networks from tracking your every move.

      Is the ability to have unrestricted access to user location data a component of this lawsuit?
      • dane-pgp 5y ago
        If Apple started arguing that the OS settings page is not a "function[] provided by the Covered Company" because "location data" is a special kind of thing that means the law shouldn't apply to that page, then the specialness of that thing would suddenly become a component of the lawsuit, yes.
