Your iPhone Has A Hidden List of Every Location You've Been
Hiding in not-so-plain sight, deep within the depths of your iPhone's settings (seven layers deep, to be exact) is a level of location tracking that very few iPhone users are aware of and probably won't feel comfortable with.
Sure, many of us know that our iPhone generally tracks us when we use certain apps to enable it to share personalized information like the local weather, coffee shop recommendations, and more.
But in a quick survey I ran with some friends, not one person (out of dozens of people that I surveyed) knew where or how to navigate to this specific screen that I'm talking about here. It's called the Significant Locations list.
The Significant Locations list shows a minute-by-minute route history of my exact whereabouts in every location I've been over the past few years.

Possibly you forgot San Bernardino. Or you never heard about that one. I will never forget. John McMahon, incredible guy. A little bit taller than I am. John worked with the local police chief to respond. Their brave officers chased down the terrorists and brought their sinister rampage to a rapid end. But, Tim/Apple wouldn't help our F.B.I., they wouldn't "unlock" that iPhone. Perfect for the Radical Islamic, or Islamist Terrorists. But horrible for our Country. I said, boycott Apple. And many folks did the boycott. Draining Apple's coffers very badly!!!

A: You didn't need Apple.
B: You have no authority to force a private business to do your work for you.
C: You can't expect a business to publicly destroy their own security, in full view of the public, to whom they are selling a "secure system".
D: Tough noogies. You haven't made a case for backdoors into everything in the country.
ICE is having a Pretti Good season.

Just a quick tip: If your noogies are tough you might be overcooking them.
Maybe take them out of the pan when they're just cooked through and leave them to rest for five minutes.

I love it when the dumbass christian supremacist shows how inferior he actually is by taking an obvious parody seriously.
