Business Insider: Apple Again Tracking Users’ Locations

October 15, 2012 by 1 Comment

I ran across this article in Business Insider today (thanks to Twitter) – Image: Business Insiderit would appear the good folks at Apple are still looking for ways to leverage your location data.

Apparently, they’ve got one – and it’s buried deep inside iOS 6.

And yes, it’s on by default. You can opt out of it, but it’s not the most intuitive maneuver, as the report shows. As a result, most people will have it enabled because of its obscure location in the Settings.

Oh, I was one of that “most people” group, until about five minutes ago. It’s work your five minutes to take a look at the report, iPhone in hand.

    I’ve updated the link in the post – it wasn’t working. Now it works. Sorry for the confusion.
