We haven't had to wait two weeks, which is what was originally promised. The new edition of Apple's operating system is now available to all iPhone and iPad users, who can fix the dreaded location tracking feature once and for all. The controversy broke out just a few days ago, just when two British researchers brought this question to light. In fact, not only Apple was involved in the matter. Google, the owner of the Android operating system, was also discovered; as was Microsoft, owner ofWindows Phone 7, the latest mobile platform to hit the market.
A couple of days ago, the news broke that iOS 4.3.3 would be available in two weeks. But things have advanced a lot. At this point, we can say that iPhone and iPad users already have the opportunity to download this update. As has become customary in these cases, they can do so through iTunes, the main software for users of these devices. The truth is that the new version of this operating system brings very little news with it. So much so, that the guys at Apple have limited themselves to incorporating the solution to some bugs or errors, although the truth is that theThe most important correction has to do with the end of tracking the locations.
As you already know, the problem was based on both devices saving information about the location and Wi-Fi networks near the user in a file called 'consolidated.db'. With this correction, no information of this type will be saved for more than a week and copies of this file will not be created on the computers to which we have connected the phone or tablet. The update is completely free and is available for users of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad and iPad 2, always through iTunes, connecting the device to our computer.
