Steve Jobs: 'We Don't Track Anyone'

Posted by Soulskill on Monday April 25, 2011 @09:28AM from the truth-is-in-the-iphone-of-the-beholder dept.

fysdt writes "There has obviously been a lot of discussion about last week's disclosure that iOS devices are maintaining an easily-accessible database tracking the movements of users dating back to the introduction of iOS 4 a year ago. The issue has garnered the attention of US elected officials and has played fairly heavily in the mainstream press. One MacRumors reader emailed Apple CEO Steve Jobs asking for clarification on the issue while hinting about a switch to Android if adequate explanations are not forthcoming. Jobs reportedly responded, turning the tables by claiming both that Apple does not track users and that Android does, while referring to the information about iOS shared in the media as 'false.'" Apple has now been hit with a class-action lawsuit over the location-tracking issue.

This is true. The contents of that .db file are never sent to Apple or anyone else.
Yet.

You were modded down because your post was an incomprehensible train wreck, like they always are.
What's most surprising is the fact that you're surprised.
