What I find interesting is that nobody criticizes the M7 motion coprocessor, but everybody criticizes the fingerprint sensor. It's now possible to log every movement you make and where you are 24/7. And here Apple offers a nice API for every app developer that is interested in your data.
- interpol_p 13y ago> log every movement you make and where you are 24/7 This is most definitely not the case. The GPS is not running 24/7, nor do apps have access to historical GPS data. The location API is still entirely opt-in at the time the app runs. The data you can query from the M7 is not very sensitive, and is geared towards fitness apps.[1] For example, you can query the number of steps taken in a given date range (for up to seven days). You can also query the motion type. This is no way relates to GPS or your actual, physical location in the world.
