I believe this also affects iPhone users that utilize Google services like Maps and searching via Chrome.

I don't have any google applications installed on the iPhone. I use the native mail application connected to gmail for looking at my mail, and the browser has google as the default search engine. That's about it
Apple Maps does of course not use Google Maps and the Google Maps app doesn’t track your location while you aren’t navigating. No app gets to track your location if you don’t allow it.

This suit is all about alleged this and alleged that and then it’s presented as the truth while there is no proof at all. Perhaps the Android part is going anywhere but my money is on at least the iPhone part disappearing rather quickly. Perhaps the idea is to bully Apple into a settlement with some negative press attention, well good luck with that.
