Apple responds to Chinese accusations about iOS

Apple has posted a response on its Chinese web site, to accusations made by the government in the country related to a specific feature on iOS 7. The Chinese government called the Frequent Locations feature a threat to national security, and said that it could even leak "state secrets". Frequent Locations, true to its title, keeps a record of the spots that an iOS user travels to the most. That could be a job, a home, a friend's house or a favorite supermarket. Apple uses a combination of GPS, Wi-Fi and triangulation to determine the geographical coordinates of these places.
