iOS 4.3.3 To Drop Within Two Weeks, Stop Tracking iPhones

By

iOS-4.3.3

According to the lads over at Boy Genius Report, iOS 4.3.3 — which is the update that will famously fix the problem of iPhone location tracking — is coming soon, and they’ve got their hands on it.

What’s new?

• The update will no longer back up the location database to iTunes.
• The size of the location database will be reduced.
• The location database will be deleted entirely when Location Services are turned off.
• Battery life improvements.
• iPod bug fixes.

iOS 4.3.3 should be out in the next two weeks, and Apple will likely also close that pesky jailbreak hole revealed by iOS 4.3.1.
