The feature works for system services that do not have a Location switch.

      What sort of person forgets to turn off the Master Switch if they want all the Location features off?

        If this was discovered by on a Huawei device.... Hmmmm

                  Maybe Brian Krebs' wife doesn't trust him and placed a spying app?

                          Only consolation is that Apple probably doesn't know what to do with its massive user data collected across, unlike Google which monetize it, use it for improving it's OS by doing regression analysis for AI testing, building various information treasure for itself and for the industry.

                          Apple probably has large chunk of data only federal agencies or anonymous hackers could benefit from it.

                          Apple just learning to implement Dual SIM tech with hideous bugs right, left and center...

                            what happens on your iphone remains on your iphone.

                              There cannot possibly be a better explanation for this than to blame Huawei...ffs

                                IPhone isn't secure anymore. Android is the way to go.

                                      America has the same interest in spying on users as china does. No country on this planet is free from greed and abuse of power. Since Snowden the citizens of europe will never trust america again...for good reasons. But for now: it doesnt matter what tech you use - they will spy on you no matter what. It's just too easy for them..."don't do evil" is long gone....
