Report: Apple to combine Find My Friends and Find My iPhone apps, develop Tile-like like tracker

Where other tech companies seem hell-bent on secretly tracking you and everything you do, Apple may be set to flip the script and give you the ability to track all your stuff.At least, that seems to be the case if a new report from 9to5Mac is true.

Engineers at Apple are apparently already testing the new app.The combined app won’t cut any features from the existing apps, and in fact will expand them a little.

Presumably, this would work the way Tile trackers do: using an iBeacon-like Bluetooth network of Apple devices.To read this article in full, please click here
