The Apple devices store the information on whereabouts of the past months in a hidden file and transfer it on the computer to which they are connected for data exchange. There, they can be read with special software. The IT expert Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden found no evidence that the information to Apple and others are forwarded. You see a problem in the fact that unauthorized persons could gain access to this data, because the iPhone data are not automatically encrypted.
The German network expert Frank Rieger from the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) said the risk in this case, especially that the phone be lost and the data would be read out. Or that someone accessing the computer on which lay a copy of the data, and then staging the last few years are available and can be read without the user knowing it. "
The relevant data protection Bavarian Thomas Kranig demanded in writing by Apple Enlightenment. Apple should answer that store equipment movement data, what data are and where they are stored. In addition, the privacy advocates will know who have access to the data, "whether and to what Apple is doing and whether the user has the option to suppress this data collection. He had sent the questionnaire to the German Apple branch in Munich, said Kranig dpa.
And mobile communications providers raise the operation of their networks for the part of such information. "If you move with your mobile phone, next to the current wireless cell, the early radio cell stored, " said a spokeswoman about the Deutsche Telekom. It was always only the current whereabouts. "The previous detections will be deleted. Motion profiles are not saved. "

The best smartphones
It was once the undisputed dominator and even today, the iPhone is probably the most popular smartphone. The fascination can not put into test tables, the result of COMPUTERBILD list surprised yet - only 11th place!
Android and Nokia push the iPhone out of the Top Ten
The most innovative new addition to the COMPUTER IMAGE-best list, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play: What looks like a chubby smart phone, turns out to be when pushed as a cross between the current Android phone and Playstation. At least the mobile part in convincing test. The test criteria are varied, but who excels in all disciplines, it creates as the Samsung S Galaxy to the top. Milestone 2 with Motorola, HTC HD Desire, Desire HTC Z, Google / S Nexus Samsung, LG P990 Optimus speed and the Nexus One eight Android devices are currently the fourth iPhone And Nokia's Symbian-N8 flagship captured 3rd place In the field of photo and multimedia, the N8 standards. But the unofficial successor of the communicator, the Nokia E7, it creates far forward (No. 9). The popular Apple's smartphone is the first time ever in the top ten in the competitive rankings.
Dual-core processor in the mobile phone
LG presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the P990 Optimus Speed - one of the first smartphones with two computing cores. The performance is noticeable: The Optimus Speed is the fastest mobile phone, the computer image has been tested (April 2011). Despite the fast processor, the battery life of the LG was not worse than other smartphones. With an overall score of 1.97, the P990 lands on the 8th place.
The COMPUTER BILD mobile phone test
The testers evaluated how easy and intuitive operation, navigation and move to the main menu are. Is one-handed operation is possible and there is a QWERTY keyboard? Speed and appearance of the browser will be tested to the same standards as Firefox, Internet Explorer & Co.. The battery life measurement takes into account Internet connections via mobile and wireless networking and GPS.
iPhone 4 breaks the chains Provider - prices tumble
After delivery bottlenecks and iPhone-4 reception problems, there is again good news for Apple fans: The iPhone 4 is also on Apple's online shop - SIM-lock free. This and the new pricing structure should provide further growth.
iPhone power to the prepaid plan?
The iPhone is not cheap, does not come into question for everyone. But: Large touch screen, navigation, internet and e-mail support, camera and video capabilities, chat clients and the integration of social networks like Facebook and Twitter do not have to be expensive. The Nokia 5230 barely scraping by on a good test score over - it will cost barely more than 100 $ without contract and provides for free navigation. Who can do without a touch screen that receives a properly equipped with Nokia's C5 and with "good " smartphone also around 100 $ (April 2011). But beware: Many applications load data continuously from the Internet! Quickly come together without the proper contract a few hundred megabytes. Consider the choice of tariffs, or mutated, the "Saving Phone" cost trap.
Windows Mobile 7 - the wind in the smartphone market
Microsoft has released Windows Mobile smartphones with 7: The devices should also be attractive to consumers, Microsoft copied but almost all restrictions on data sharing, and Apple is on cloud computing (online storage). The first Windows-Phone-7 devices (HTC 7 Mozart, LG Optimus 7) won good test marks, seasoned with liquid handling. The keyboard HTC 7 Pro not suffered from the co-rotating surface. Whether Microsoft's cooperation with Nokia, the two sides leads to success remains to be seen.
Qualities of the Internet Smartphones
Basically, there are also the PC thought internet pages on the mobile screen. The larger the display and the resolution, the better the overview. How good surfing on the phone is, has shown us the iPhone 3G. The iPhone 4 does it better, but the real surf stars come from the Android camp: Samsung S Galaxy, Motorola Milestone 2, Desire HTC HD, LG P990 Optimus Speed & Co. as well as play Flash content.
Point by point: Display quality
In terms of display sets the iPhone 4 benchmarks: 960x640 pixels, it offers the highest resolution currently on the mobile market. Individual pixels are barely visible. The reading is difficult for sunlight. This trumps on the LG P970 Optimus Black: In terms of brightness, it was a new record.
Free navigation
Most current cell phones have a GPS satellite receiver and can be customized with appropriate software as a navigation system with voice message use in the car. Nokia Ovi pressed ahead, and offers maps, including voice-guided car and pedestrian routes free for Symbian devices. Google counters with full-featured voice guidance for Android devices, version 1.6. Telecom customers with the iPhone, Android or Windows-phone-7 Smartphone enjoy "select Navigon" during the contract period free access to the full on-board navigation. All Windows-phone-7 devices offer free route guidance based on Microsoft's Bing maps.

Probability: 50:50
Steve Jobs praised the iPhone 4 as a design highlight. However, not all users were compared to the iPhone 3G sided case, good at it. Many believe that the first iPhone models are better in the hand, partly because of the rounded corners and gently curved back. On the iPod touch and the Apple iPad 2 takes the rounded design on back. Quite possible that one would return to the iPhone 5 back to the original form.
The iPhone 5 is also available in white
Probability: High
The long-running rumors in the Apple: iPhone is probably still with four white housing on the market. Production difficulties led so far to the fans waited in vain for the device.

Probability: High
Every iPhone user invites many apps on their device - almost every day there are more. But not only the small mobile-software requires storage space.

And as with the Apple netbook could also wait a long time and then in the future if necessary, develop a sophisticated device.
An NFC chip is built into the iPhone 5
Probability: High
The "Near Field Communication technology (NFC) allows you to perform transactions with your phone wirelessly, such as payment for retrieving information or to non-cash.

The iPhone 5 supports the LTE standard
Probability: High
The wireless industry is firmly behind the UMTS successor LTE and gradually dismantled its networks in accordance to or from. Since high-speed Internet is a key purchase criterion for current smartphones, Apple has to go along. Therefore, the iPhone is equipped with five large probability for LTE.
The iPhone 5 provides access to iTunes Cloud
Probability: 50:50

Business model: For a fixed fee you get access to the entire iTunes library and stream the songs (without memory at any time) on your Smartphone or PC.

Parallel to the iPhone 5 comes iOS 5
Probability: High

The iPhone has 5 on a radio board
Probability: Low
