Reports: There's No Way To Keep iPhone From Collecting Location Data
Reports: There's No Way To Keep iPhone From Collecting Location Data There was one big open question after researchers revealed that the iPhone keeps an unencrypted log of location data: Is there a way to turn it off? As we reported last week, back in 2009, Apple told Congress in a letter that turning off location services would keep the iPhone from collecting data. A preliminary test done by NPR's Senior Director of Technology Zach Brand, found that his iPhone seemed to stop collecting data after he turned off location services. But a new test conducted by the Wall Street Journal found that the iPhone continued to collect data even after their testers had turned off location services: The Journal disabled location services and immediately recorded the data that had initially been gathered by the phone.
