“And believe me, if Apple didn’t want Uber to linger, Apple wouldn’t allow Uber to linger.”
Not if they track the data from outside the phone. IMEI, etc. Not hard.
That is not iPhone specific. . . and requires Uber to tie in to all of the carriers, which they may possibly be doing, but not economical.
Well, they can access Apple-specific data. not just geolocation, SMS and call logs. Anyone in government can get those with hardly even a warrant.
The backdoors need to be introduced now that people OWN their phones. If you’re financing it through a contract.. It’s not yours.
That’s been the line of thinking until recently.
