[QUOTE="Langston Holland, post: 26584, member: 171"] Nothing is Wrong and We're Going to Fix it Apple is going to fix 99% of the problem and allow an opt-out on the location tracking file. In standard [url=http://www.newspeakdictionary.com/ns-dict.html#Newspeak]Newspeak[/url], Apple did not promise to stop downloading and storing current location data. Instead its [url=http://www.newspeakdictionary.com/ns-dict.html#Minitrue] Ministry of Truth[/url] issued the following absolute proof of innocence in reference to iPhone tracking; it "has never done so and has no plans to ever do so." No doubt that if my wife had concerns about my fidelity to her, the strongest possible thing I could say to set her at ease would be "I have no plans to cheat on you". [url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703367004576288790268529716.html]The good news[/url]: "Apple said it would release an iPhone software update in the next few weeks that reduces the size of the database cached on the phone, ceases backing up the cache and deletes the cache entirely when location services are turned off." [b]Edit[/b]: A well reasoned review of Apple's "[url=http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/04/27location_qa.html]response[/url]" by another guy I've become acquainted with. He's a very pro-Mac guy (as I am) that is very unhappy with Apple over this tracking arrogance (as I am): April 25: [url]http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2011/20110425_1_AppleTracking--howto.html[/url] April 27: [url]http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2011/20110427_1_AppleTracking--howto.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
