“Apple knows when you leave home, or arrive at the office, or travel to a different city, all with no Apple ID, no iCloud, and no location services. I would be surprised if they do this for everything yet, but as far as I can see Sneak is making only a theoretical accusation, and not one which he has more than speculation about.Īs far as I can see, statements like these.

So they know that keeping IP address logs is a potential privacy issue and are working to alleviate that. I don’t know for sure that they do not, but I do know that they are aware that keeping IP addresses is a potential privacy leak, and so at least some of their services are definitely designed to scrub ip addresses from records at the point of ingestion and replace them with anonymized keys before they are passed on to services within the company.

Nobody has so far presented evidence that Apple does in fact geolocate people or even that they persistently store IP address information related to user accounts. This claim that Apple are tracking your location because they use TCP/IP to receive connections, has been made many times now.
