. Something serious about your privacy revealed in public by an user of Apple iPhone 5S, right now you just know-Apple has a motion co-processor called M7 Chip that tracks of your motion related data derived from the integrated accelerometer, gyroscope and compass sensors but you know if your ever died then-still all of your data collected by the M7 Chip. . The fact is when iPhones battery shuts down due to low battery, actually the battery isnt completely drained. M7 designed to work in very tiny power also. . So M7 analyzes your every physical activity even if the your battery dies. . M7 processor works independently , so it doesnt need any other components on the iPhone to be powered on. . This Privacy stuff revealed by a Reddit user, who wrote: While traveling abroad, my iPhone cable stopped working so my 5s died completely. I frequently use Argus to track my steps (highly recommended if you have any health bands or accessories) since it takes advantage of the M7 chip built into the phone. . Once I got back from my vacation and charged the phone, I was surprised to see that Argus displayed a number of steps for the 4 days that my phone was dead. . Im both incredibly impressed and slightly terrified. M7 only analyze physical activity, not your actual location.
