Since the new iOS update, which I hate, when I get In my truck to leave work it says "30 minutes to get home, traffic normal". Or something along those lines. So it figured out where I work and where I live. Fine, whatever phone. But today I'm going to my camp when I get off. Never told my phone shite. When I crank my truck up to leave work it says 110 miles to St. Joesph, traffic normal. How in the shite does it know where my camp is and more importantly, that I'm going there? I'm thinking about shooting it...

The microphone in your phone listens to conversations and the camera uploads images. Smart phone is always thinking.

You have the mindreader ap. It is like the force, only works on weak minds.

Nope. Nothing in my calendar. I just made my mind up for sure I'm going around lunch today.

How often do you go to your camp on Fridays? I bet it just tracks normal driving routes based on your weekly schedule.

Is it in an email by chance? Google did this to me a few weeks ago. I had a flight leaving at 7:00am and I got a notification at like 5:15am telling me to leave now if I want to make it on time. Never told it anything, but it read my email.

Mine does the same thing.

I made dinner reservations. The restaurant sent me a confirmation email. My phone pulled that information and sent me a calendar reminder and said I needed to leave my house by 6:05 to make my reservation at the restaurant. It was creepy.

did you read the EULA terms and conditions?

apple is benevolent. they are tracking every single search and movement you make..but its ok because they are not big brother and aren't handing this over to the government (Unless, of course, the govt asks first)

No email or written text about going to my camp today. I did talk about it to a couple different people on my phone. This damn thing better not be listening to my conversations.

You hear that mutha fricker!??
