苹果上周三发布的一份问答文件，重新解释了它在2010年7月关于它的iPhone政策和做法上解释收集位置数据。苹果CEO史蒂夫·乔布斯授予的文件和至少一个几乎是史无前例的媒体采访时均响应发现那部iPhone手机存储大量的位置数据。
的语气文件是苹果经典：奥海，酷，有点轻蔑，而且非常光顾。该“问题”是利己型，顺序上的“为什么没有人意识到，[插入公司名称这里]的作用在他们的最佳利益，只是相信你吗？”
当你读到乔布斯的采访[采访时！喜欢这款手机上，而不是通过电子邮件，声称今天]与华尔街日报的CNET科技资讯，谁写的动员博客，你从那里那口气来实现。油炸的初步岗位（更详细的一个将出现以后）：乔布斯说，科技行业还没有做什么一直是一个相当复杂的问题，教育用户的一个好工作。“随着新技术进入社会是有一段时间的调整和教育，”乔布斯说。“我们haven't，作为一个行业，做了很好的工作育人，我认为，对于一些更微妙的东西会在这里。因此，（人们）跃升至上周很多错误的结论“。
在育人的这种精神，这里是“网络世界注释指南苹果Q＆A在iPhone上的位置数据。”有个足球雷竞技app
1.为什么苹果跟踪我的iPhone的位置？
苹果没有跟踪定位你的iPhone，[你大傻。苹果从来没有这样做，有没有打算永远这样做。[喜欢，EVAH。你到底是怎么回事？2。那么为什么大家这么关注呢？[因为这一切都非常复杂，每个人，除了苹果使用的那些，是非常非常愚蠢的。]为移动用户提供快速，准确的位置信息，同时保留他们的安全和隐私提出了一些非常这是很难复杂的技术问题，在同期声沟通。[我们在苹果有一个政策，即禁止使用soundbites的。]用户感到困惑，一方面是因为这种新技术（包括苹果[在真正聪明的人]）的创造者并没有提供了足够的教育有关这些问题的日期。[我们一直在忙着做大量的金钱与我们的很酷的产品。所以，认为自己现在的教育。] 3。为什么我的iPhone记录我的位置？iPhone是不记录您的位置。 [How many times do we have to tell you, you twit?] Rather, it’s maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around your current location, some of which may be located more than one hundred miles away from your iPhone, to help your iPhone rapidly and accurately calculate its location when requested....[So whatever we're doing, which you probably can't understand anyway, is for your own benefit.]Can Apple locate me based on my geo-tagged Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data?No. [How ridiculous.] This data is sent to Apple in an anonymous and encrypted form. Apple cannot identify the source of this data. [Anyway, do you think we care that you're working right now at 492 Old Connecticut Path, Framingham, MA 01701 in a 4th floor cubicle on the northwest side of the building?]Why does my iPhone need so much data in order to assist it in finding my location today?[Look dufus, for the last time:] This data is not the iPhone’s location data—it is a subset (cache) of the [cool and magical] crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database which is downloaded from Apple into the iPhone to assist the iPhone in rapidly and accurately calculating location. [Like we already explained!] The reason the iPhone stores so much data is a bug we uncovered and plan to fix shortly (see Software Update section below). [So quit complaining!] We don’t think [as of today] the iPhone needs to store more than seven days of this data.When I turn off Location Services, why does my iPhone sometimes continue updating its Wi-Fi and cell tower data from Apple’s crowd-sourced database?It shouldn’t. This is a bug,[which is a term of art meaning that just like real bugs they just show up out of nowhere for no reason and irritate people and have to be swatted or sprayed, and] which we plan to fix shortly (see Software Update section below). Does Apple currently provide any data collected from iPhones to third parties?[Oh for crying out loud!] We provide anonymous [a-nony-mous] crash logs from users that have opted in [and like good users trust us to do what we want] to third-party developers to help them debug their apps. Our iAds advertising system [which creates the coolest ads in the world for our users, and tons of money for us] can use location as a factor in targeting ads. [And who doesn't want targeted ads?]. Location is not shared with any third party or ad unless the user explicitly approves giving the current location to the current ad (for example, to request the ad locate the Target store nearest them).

是的，我们坚决做。[大声笑！我们不得不说！例如，iPhone是第一个要求用户给自己的权限为每个应用程序，想用的位置。苹果将继续成为领导者之一，在加强个人信息安全和隐私。[这是另一种的，都难以在同期声传达给用户感到困惑那些非常复杂的技术问题。最好的办法是不要担心你的小脑袋一下它和信任我们。我们知道我们在做什么，我们是对的。]
