    Loving the StandBy Mode feature on iPhone.
    For me it's a huge disappointment on my always on iPhone 14 Pro screen. It turns off after 10 or 20 seconds. Then I have to wave my arms about or tap the table to see the time. I have tried Settings -> Standby -> Display, Always On = off or on to no effect.

    It's useless as a bedroom clock to check the time during the night.

    Did you even watch the Murdaugh trial a few weeks ago? Neither the phone company nor the government had access to the location of Murdaugh's cell phone because cell phone location data is not recorded at the cell company, but they did get the location data from off of Murdaugh's phone. If the phone company or the government had the GPS location, they certainly would have used it, because this was a murder trial. but they didn't have it. This type of data is not recorded. It can be recorded if they know in advance that they need to record your location. 

    So if you think someone is secretly recording all this data, but they're not willing to reveal that data even for your murder trial, then you really don't have anything to worry about, do you?

    I'm somewhat familiar with how the SS7 network works. The data that you're talking about is not recorded because there's too much of it. Have you ever tried to calculate how much storage it would take to record the GPS location data of every user for every minute of every day of every year?

    By the way, the cell company has a much harder time of tracking you if your phone doesn't have GPS, or if you turn off the GPS on your smart phone. If you are a criminal, you should probably turn off your GPS, or maybe use a phone without GPS.
    Good point about them not habitually logging the data. They could or someone else could record it. SS7 is a bag of security holes. 

    By the way: I know there’s a setting on your iPhone to allow location services to be used for searching for mobile networks. However, do you have any more info on them using it once they have associated you to a particular network? I have that setting off and my phone works fine including when roaming.

  • Apple's new iCloud+ tiers are too much for consumers, too little for professionals

    appleinsideruserappleinsideruser

    PC users can see and use your shared files, but they have to do it via logging in to iCloud.com and they're just not going to do it.

    Oh yes they can. iCloud for Windows https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204283

  • Apple will issue iOS update to appease France over RF exposure row

    appleinsideruserappleinsideruser
    So if Apple turn down the maximum RF level, calls will be more likely to fail in weak signal areas.
