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 iPhone’s battery
shuts down due to low battery,
actually the battery isn’t
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 doesn’t 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.
.
I’m both incredibly impressed
and slightly terrified.
M7 only analyze physical activity,
not your actual location.
