| Every iOS device has a UDID |
With Congress scrutinizing mobile privacy, Apple appears to
be taking the extra steps necessary to ensure that apps cannot access your Unique
Device Identifier (UDID).
A UDID is a long alphanumeric string that is unique to your
device. Every iPhone, iPad, and iPod has an UDID.
Currently, many applications and services access your UDID
for all sorts of reasons. Some are specifically built to provide a UDID so that
you don’t have to plug your device into iTunes to see it, others use it to
issue mobile advertisements based on the apps you use and the advertisements
you already notice, and some use it to restrict access to their service to
certain iOS devices.
Hehe, wouldn't developers accessing photos use a lot of your battery!?
ReplyDeletePossibly, although you wouldn't notice it right away lol
