| Article: Apple Pressed on Location Data Over the week, Apple has released a Q&A on their website that answers the much discussed issue on the iPhone which allows it to store your location details. Apple started by clearing one thing: that they tracked nor will ever track user's location.Read the complete article here: |
| Privacy is still an issue for these gadgets as well as being connected online. As long as you are connected to some network, you are opening yourself up to being tracked and your data and personal security could be at risk. These are just some of the things that we need to take into consideration when we buy and use any gadget, even something as advanced as that of Apple's. Perhaps, we should limit the information that we store and upload online. |
| Of course most cell phone companies can use the location features to track down user cell phones. Whether most do or not is an entirely different question, but there is little doubt that they have that capability. Having said that, they are not going to give away this secret any time soon, as can be seen by Apple's avoidance in this situation. Should they ever need to use it for whatever reason, they would. |
| We can't really avoid at times encountering privacy issues most especially with the latest devices. It is not a guarantee that though they have different features still the users can't escape from hacking and other illegal issues. I think it is important for people to know the limitations of using some applications so they can be safe from any privacy issues. Thanks for the post. Great day to all. |
| I agree with you Marynor. Yes, there are always issues and there will always be in the future if we talk about privacy. That is why we have to be more cautious with regards to the information and different things that we share in any gadget that we have. Other people might be on the look out to just take advantage of us. |
