Ping
Scary. I can’t wait to dump mine. The amount of money I pay a month is soul withering.
I’ve been an iPhone user for a couple of years now and just yesterday, I was looking at some of my pictures and noticed there’s a map icon which shows where the pictures were taken. I had no idea that was even there.
What about the two kids?
On the other hand, I wouldn't want to be a married lawyer engaged in anything the little lady might get upset about.
Works both ways. I expect defense lawyers and divorce lawyers will be requesting records from cops and prosecutors. Goose/gander thing. Only fair.

One would think iPhone users would clamor for spyproofed versions. There is little or no use to the user for most of this stuff.
Hey Joe - take this here iPhone and take some pictures of my family at the beach while I rob this bank on the other side of town.....
There they go again. LE folks just love to brag to the bad guys how they catch them. Just STFU.
Note that this is essentially using “iPhone” as a generic for a modern smartphone. Most of these are features used to sell phones. I expect geotagging photos in a smartphone these days. I also expect browser history, and I definitely expect autocorrect spelling. And, yes, by now the autocorrect on my Android knows the names of towns and places I’ve typed in.
The cops must first prove the suspect was in possession of the phone at the time.
