Sometime last week, Apple responded to
questions raised by about the iPhone and iPad 3G location tracking issue reported by Security researchers.
Apple has revealed that it plans to release a minor iOS software
update – most likely iOS 4.3.3 in the next few weeks to address a bug in the way it manages the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and celltower database that is
cached on the iPhone.
Here are a few of the updates:
reduce the size of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database cached on the iPhone.
cease backing up this cache,
delete this cache entirely when Location Services is turned off.
Apple also plans to encrypt the cached database in iOS 5, which will be unveiled at WWDC 2011 that starts on June 6th.
Will you install the iOS 4.3.3 when it is released? What do you want Apple to fix in this iOS software
update? Let us know in the comments section below.
