[at Bloomberg] - Apple Inc. (AAPL) said location tracking functions of its software can’t be used to identify activity of individuals in China as it seeks to refute claims on state-owned media that its iPhones pose a security risk. China Central Television reported on July 11 that the software may result in a leak of state secrets. The feature is designed to speed up applications and the company has never worked with any government agency for access to its products, with data stored on the phone and protected by a password, Apple said in response on its Chinese website. U.S. technology companies are attracting increased scrutiny in China amid escalating tensions over cyberspying after five Chinese military officers were indicted for allegedly hacking into American companies. #Apple #iPhone #News
