Announcing the white version of the iPhone, iPad Asia Pacific listed four tomorrow (including the China listed in Hong Kong, mainland China) are the two good plan today at the same time, apple in the form of official release of hot debate, the recent media iOS operating system, collect user positioning information official explanation. For apple, namely below releases transcript:

To locate data problem apple q&a
Apple hopes to receive about recent through our devices collect and use positioning information, do the following reply.

1. Why apple to track mobile location? My iPhone
Apple never tracking users mobile phone iPhone position. Apple never do such a thing, never plan has this behavior.

2. So, why everyone worried about this problem?
To provide fast and accurate mobile users in the positioning information, and at the same time to ensure user of security and privacy, the situation led to fairly complex technical problems, not a few words to explain. Users are confused, partly due to the creators of this new technology (including apple) has never been to this problem giving users enough knowledge popularization.

3. Why my iPhone to my seat in the record?
IPhone did not record your position. In fact, it is the location in maintaining a your mobile hotspot and WiFi signal around the database, some tower in your cell phone signal tower may be 100 miles. This database is the role of help your iPhone when positioning operation execution, in quickly and accurately calculate the location.

Only through GPS satellite signal positioning often require several minutes, because use WiFi hotspot and signal tower location data, the iPhone can will locate time is shortened to a few seconds. Even in GPS cannot use situations (such as indoor or basement), iPhone only with WiFi hotspot and signal tower data, through the triangle algorithm calculates the location.

This algorithm is used in the bag (on iPhone sourced) database over – have real-time database in content, with tens of millions of iPhone users is anonymous and encryption methods to send WiFi hotspot and apple signal tower location label information.

4. This all the packages database will be stored on the iPhone?
The whole all the packages database size too big, cannot be stored in iPhone, so we will let each one iPhone to download a proper subset (cache). This cache protected, but did not encryption, and will be on your backup the iPhone backup process in the meantime. This backup file encryption, depending on whether the iTunes users in the set.

The researchers in iPhone backup file view to position information, not the iPhone to the past and current location, but the hot spot and WiFi signal around the tower, one may place away from the machine hundreds of miles away. We plan to recently passed a software upgrade, no longer backup this cache data. (see below software upgrade part)

5. Apple can send WiFi hotspot through my position and the signal tower location for my label?

Not. This data is anonymous and encrypted form sent to apple. Apple can\’t identify the sources of information.

6. Someone found on iPhone stored in the up to a year to locate data. Why does my iPhone simply to help find my today\’s position, then the data storage so much?

These data are not the location, but just iPhone from apple WiFi hotspot and signal tower in the download packages database to a subset of (cache), to help the iPhone to fast and accurate positioning. IPhone store so much data is one we\’ve found a Bug, recent will correction (see below software upgrade part). We don\’t think iPhone more than seven days time required to store of such data.

7. When I closed the location services, why my iPhone to sometimes to continue from apple all the packages database updating the WiFi and signal tower data?

This should not happen. This is a Bug, we plan to correction. (see below software upgrade part)

8. Besides the packet WiFi hotspot and signal tower in the data collected, apple still has what location information?
Apple still collect anonymous traffic information, to create a all the packet traffic information database, the purpose is for the iPhone to users in a few years to provide a better transport information services.

9. Apple ever will any information collected from iPhone provide to a third party?
We will collect anonymous program from the user to a third party software crash records provide developers, help them fixed software Bug. Our iAd advertising system can use positioning information, realizing the directional advertising. Unless the user explicitly agreed to provide to the current advertising, or locate information not position with any third party or advertising sharing. (for example, advertising will ask you to provide position to give the Target store address) recently .

10. Apple whether approbation of the importance of personal information security and privacy?
Yes, we agree with. For example, in the first paragraph is iPhone application required to provide each position information, consult the user agrees to mobile phone. Apple will continue to enhance personal information security and privacy in the role of leader role.

Software update
The next few weeks, apple will release a paragraph free iOS update, includes the following content:

– narrowed the WiFi hotspot stored on iPhone and mobile signal tower the package database caching size.
– no longer backup this cache data.
– shutdown positioning services to complete when delete this cache.

In the next iOS large-scale update, stored on iPhone the positioning cache will also be encrypted.
