Apple iOS 4.3.3 DROPS TODAY





Quote: "The most recent Apple scandal - which is already being called "Locationgate" - has been raging on this and other sites since it was revealed 4/20/2011.  If you're coming to this late: Apple is storing all of your location history on an unencrypted file on your iPhone that is backed up to your computer every time you sync. The reasons for this are unclear, as Apple is giving the world its usual silent treatment. And as suspected, the angry reaction has spread all the way to Capitol Hill."


On 4/21/2001 = US Lawmakers Take Aim at Apple over iPhone Location Tracking
On 4/25/2011First Locationgate Federal Suit Filed
On 4/27/2011 = Apple Admits Locationgate Went Too Far
On 5/04/2011 = We now see iOS 4.3.3

This update contains improvements and other bug fixes including:

  • Location database will no longer be backed up to iTunes
  • Location database size will be reduced
  • Battery life will improve
  • When Location Services are turned off, location database will be deleted entirely
  • iPod bug fixes







JAILBREAK NOTE:
Stefan Esser

Confirmed: Apple did not kill the untether vulnerability in 4.3.3 - " Stefan Esser = my iPod 4 is running untethered jailbroken on 4.3.3."   

The 4.3.3 untethered JB works on all iDevices that actually support iOS 4.3.3 EXCEPT for the iPad 2.
