I’m confused because to me that article just said the phone knows a lot about itself, things like what applications are installed, and if someone gets into the phone they can use forensic tools to know those things too. I didn’t see anything about Apple getting that information and nothing about Macs. The location stuff is very well known and is an inherent property of any modern networked device, unfortunately.
