The controversy over the registration of the location of iPhone users is becoming a true technological trending topic . After Steve Jobs denied it outright and the US Congress has called for explanations to all firms (affected and unaffected), the Cupertino company has decided to come up with some interesting statements. Well, what it has actually done is to give some data to quell speculation and calm the spirits of the users most concerned about their privacy. In fact, the Apple company has already announced a small patch thatwill fix the situation. Didn't Steve Jobs say that no one was being tracked?
You already know that iPhone and iPad track users' locations and store them in a file. Now Apple has seen fit to release an update for these two gadgets that will serve to reduce the size of this file and to erase the old location data and available Wi-Fi networks. In this way, the most current data will also be struck down so that when the connectivity functions are closed, they disappear forever from the device. This is the most effective formula that Apple has found to prevent these files from being stored on different computers.
Steve Jobs persists in his speech: 'Apple does not track user data' . According to the company, what Apple does is collect information from the antenna towers and nearby Wi-Fi networks to store it in the “consolidated.db” file. As he explained the CEO, which incidentally is now low health, from now only store this data for seven days, with the option to completely remove them when you want. Jobs has also announced that on May 10 the company will appear before the US Congressto give explanations about this control system. It will do so together with other companies such as Google or Microsoft, also involved in this media case.
