After updating the privacy policy on its official website, a recently published report revealed that the new Apple iPhone 11 Pro device randomly requests access to the location data against the user's will, as stated in a report by security researcher Brian Cribbs. How did this happen and how did Apple respond?
The security researcher discovered that his "iPhone 11 Pro" device ignores the user's privacy preferences and tries to collect location data without his permission even if the user changes the settings to prevent applications and services from accessing the location data. The researcher visited the privacy section, then the website services, and stopped it for all programs and the system. Then he tried to move his phone to the flight mode and then put it back again and was surprised by the arrow pointer appearing at the top as if there is an application or service using his location. Watch the video to get to know better.
This unauthorized behavior or activity shocked Apple fans, especially since it published a few days ago a list of the company's privacy policy - see Our previous article- In which she said that iPhone users are able to deactivate all location services via one button that can be accessed from the Settings menu, and turning off location services will really block the iPhone and you will not see the arrow indicator.
But the security researcher did not press the stop site services button, rather he preferred a different thing, which is to leave the site services as a basic feature, but to stop them for all programs and applications, and we also expect or expect that the iPhone will not reach your site, so there is no program allowed to access your place. But what happened was that the arrow indicator appeared. What is the secret and how did Apple respond?
What did Apple say
Apple admitted that this happened, but made it clear that it is not a problem or a loophole at all and does not represent any real risk to users, and added that the location services icon is expected to appear in the status bar when the location services is enabled.
To understand what Apple meant by this matter, we return to the privacy page, which said that if the location services feature "the main button" works, your phone will periodically send information about your geographic location, Wi-Fi networks and communications around you. But this data is sent encrypted and randomly to Apple, meaning the company does not know who is the source of the data, the name of your device, or any information about you, but it will get the data as if it says, “We have an iPhone phone in such an area surrounded by such-and-such telecommunications networks with such-and-such transmission power.” But what He is the owner of the device. This is not being sent to the company. Apple uses this data to improve some services.
The company clarified that this matter stops if the website services are canceled altogether, ”and this is what the security researcher did not do.
But the question remains, which is why it appears in the iPhone 11? The researcher said that another phone he had, the iPhone 6, the same thing did not happen. What are these devices and systems that contain this matter? Nobody knows and Apple didn't answer.

If Apple spies slowly, then believe me that the majority of Apple fans will definitely turn to Android devices, and the reason for privacy has become a thing of the past.
The reason is the new chip on iPhone 11, because of which the device is identified through the Find iPhone application, even if it is locked and I see it as a very wonderful feature
It seems that we are stirring up Apple's laughter with these trifles, the owner of the whole system that can spy and do what it wants without showing anything to the user.
greetings to you all .
Yes, it is true. I meant the same thing as I only gave the applications that I frequently used to access my site during use ..
I closed all applications in the background, and despite that, the arrow always appears on the corner of the iPhone.
I searched a lot about privacy on any application that was watching me, but I did not find anything, and I finally had to close the website services ..
And all this on iPhone 11 Pro ..
Aha, Apple is watching us from afar, and where is the privacy, so you didn't just watch the iPhone 11 ..
