It’s a shame iOS just doesn’t seem to provide this level of data using public APIs as far as I can tell. I’d love to be proven wrong, or for Apple to be a bit more transparent regarding how they perform similar enhancements to location data.

I’m a loyal iPhone customer who likes the fact that Apple doesn’t give out API access willy nilly to apps and instead operates on a default-deny model. I’ll deal with the slightly inaccurate Uber dot.

What sorts of attacks or privacy leaks are possible from the APIs used by Uber to build this on Android? Information about each individual satellite seems like nearly useless data as an attacker, unless I'm a state actor trying to figure out whether you are inside or outside a building when aiming my drones.

I can’t think of any attacks now, and there may be none, but you can see the consequences of Google’s high level approach to APIs in the fact that Facebook snarfed up entire call histories for Android users but not iOS users.
