CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple says it does not store users' locations on iPhones and iPads.
In a statement Wednesday, Apple Inc. blames a misunderstanding of its technology.
Last week, privacy watchdogs demanded answers from Apple after security researchers said iPhones and iPads have been secretly collecting location data on users.
