Rep Markey: Apple response to iPhone-gate raises new questions

Rep Ed Markey (D-MA) said Apple's response to public concern over the revelation that iPhones track location data raises more questions for the tech giant. Rep Markey was generally pleased with the response, including Apple's decision to begin encrypting the location data it stores when the iPhone is synced with a computer. The company also pledged to reduce the amount of time location data is stored on a device from nearly a year to a week. "By providing these additional consumer controls, using an Apple every day should help keep the predators away," Rep Markey said.
