Apple location
SPECIAL HOURS
In case you hadn't heard, the freshest batch of iPhones comes with a new Ultra Wideband chip inside them. It allows for, among other things, more precise positional tracking for devices that are near each other, which could enhance things like AirDrop and Apple's rumored tracking devices for lost possessions.

The fact that new iPhones were still displaying the telltale location services arrow near the battery bar even when no apps had permission was thought of as a bug, until security reporter Brian Krebs looked into it in December. According to Apple, it was actually working as intended; the Ultra Wideband chip is subject to different regulations in different places, so the phones were tracking their locations to make sure the chips could be used at all.
Apple also explained that the location tracking was happening entirely on-device, so theoretically that data would be difficult to compromise. But for people who really value their privacy, that might not be enough.

We don't know exactly when Apple plans on adding the Ultra Wideband toggle to iPhone 11s via a software update, but if it's in beta now, it can't be too far off. Ultra-wideband technology is an industry-standard technology and is subject to international regulatory requirements that require it to be turned off in certain locations. That chip is currently used for AirDrop, Apple's system for sharing files, photos, or information directly between Apple devices without having to navigate messages or email.

It is also believed that it will play a role in Apple's expected "tile-tracking" feature in the future. The good news is that according to TechCrunch's report, Apple has said that "the management of ultra-wideband compliance and its use of location data is done entirely on the device, and Apple is not collecting user location data.

In many cases, tech companies have been bad at being transparent about this balance, presuming that they know what's best for their customers. What you don't know, it turns out, might actually hurt you. Apple now says that a future release of iOS will allow this location tracking to be turned off. For a company that says it believes privacy is a fundamental human right, we should expect nothing less.
