In anul 2011 pornea un nou scandal care avea compania Apple in centru, atunci compania fiind acuzata ca loga in mod ilegal informatii despre locatiile vizitate de catre utilizatori, logurile fiind generate inclusiv cand GPS-ul era aparent dezactivat in iOS. Desigur ca un grup de utilizatori suparati s-a gandit sa actioneze compania in judecata spunand ca daca ar fi stiut ca iDevice-urile lor i-ar fi monitorizat chiar si cand GPS-ul era inchis, nu ar fi platiti la fel de multi bani pe terminale, insa ei nu au reusit sa isi sustina afirmatiile prin dovezi in fata instantei.
A California federal judge has dismissed a consumer lawsuit over data privacy against Apple, saying the plaintiffs had failed to show they had relied on any alleged company misrepresentations and that they had suffered harm. The four plaintiffs claimed in 2011 that Apple had violated its privacy policy, saying the iPhone maker had designed its iOS environment to easily transmit personal information to third parties that collect and analyze such data without user consent or detection. They also claimed that they suffered damages by paying too much money for their iPhones and by losing storage space, among other things, according to court documents.
Desi Apple a actionat in mod ilegal si a reparat problema abia dupa ce ea a fost descoperita, compania nu a ajuns sa plateasca vreo suma importanta pentru actiunile sale, iar acest proces nu ii va crea vreo obligatie. Judecatoarea care a prezidat cazul a afirmat ca reclamantii n-au reusit sa dovedeasca niciuna dintre afirmatiile facute in cererile de chemare in judecata, iar pretentiile lor nu au sustinere juridica, deci Apple nu va fi obligata sa plateasca absolut nimic, procesul fiind clasat.
Acest a fost unul comun si cuprindea ansamblul a inca 19 intentate impotriva Apple, toate avand acum aceeasi rezolutie.
Rezultatul era scontat, un colos
