APPLE iPHONE MADE TO PAY FOR ITS GEOTRACKING


Guys its apple again in our topic what else can we do Apple gets hanging up with a lot of controversy you know what it is now its not a new one actually the flaw in Apple iOS which was found around around may of this year which tracks its users position and saves it in an unencrypted format which can be accessed by any one if u sync your iOS device with any device and now this has caused Apple a lot of problem.

Apple quickly gave out updates for the iOS to patch this problem in the update 4.3.3 and every one did update it. But there were two lawsuits hit on it in Florida court which was filed by two Apple iPhone users and lots happened then the U.S. lawmakers called up Apple to explain about its flaw in the iOS which had a statement it is "Collecting, storing, and disclosing a consumer's location for commercial purposes without their express permission is unacceptable and would violate current law. That's why I am requesting responses to these questions to better understand Apple's data collection and storage policies to make certain sensitive information can't be left behind for others to follow."


















Apple has paid up for inadvertently tracking a user's location in an iOS-based device.The company was ordered by a South Korean District Court judge in June to pay 1 million won ($945) for tracking a man's location, according to court documents. The law suit was filed by a man who is an iPhone user on April 26, alleging that the company violated his privacy. Apple's Korea unit paid the sum on June 27.

Users of Apple's iPhones and iPads, including Plaintiffs, were unaware of Apple's tracking their locations and did not consent to such tracking," their suit argued. "Apple collects the location information covertly, surreptitiously and in violations of law. But what ever happens you guys have me the Crazy Technopath to let you guys know about the latest new that just blows your mind and i am happy to do that :) :)..............
