As of iOS 13.2.3, this is still active. While it\u2019s usually only asked in half jest, half conjecture\u2026 The question: \u201cIs my iPhone tracking me?\u201d has a disturbing new and verified answer.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iPhone 11 Pro sends user location to Apple even when location services are disabled<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Even when you turn off location services, Apple still gets your location when you\u2019re using the iPhone 11 Pro. Let that sink in: The iPhone 11 Pro is constantly tracking your location and Apple wants you to believe this is normal. Brian Krebs concisely explained the behavior on his <a href=\"https:\/\/krebsonsecurity.com\/2019\/12\/the-iphone-11-pros-location-data-puzzler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c[\u2026] it intermittently seeks the user\u2019s location information even when all applications and system services on the phone are individually set to never request this data.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple doesn\u2019t think constant location tracking is a privacy issue<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to Apple\u2019s privacy policy, location services are able to be disabled by user action \u2013 as any smartphone user would and does reasonably expect. However, the observed behavior contrasts with Apple\u2019s privacy policy.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Krebs first contacted Apple with his concerns about this massive privacy leak on November 13th, 2019. In December, he received a response from Apple engineers that was concerning to say the least. As their response, Apple wrote to KrebsOnSecurity:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe do not see any actual security implications. It is expected behavior that the Location Services icon appears in the status bar when Location Services is enabled. The icon appears for system services that do not have a switch in Settings\u201d [emphasis added by KrebsOnSecurity].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apple doesn\u2019t feel that anything is wrong or contradictory and says that the iPhone 11 Pro is performing as expected. This level of tracking, they feel, should be expected. It\u2019s exactly the type of location tracking that can be called on by government or third party entities to track individuals. Remember what happened to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/wehearyoukhashoggi-opinions\/\">Khashoggi<\/a>?
