On iOS, you have to trust Apple and everyone who writes code for Apple, directly or indirectly. If any Apple code that runs as root is evil, then your location data can be stolen in exactly the same way. In the case of Android, the equivalent is code written by Google, the OEM, the chipset maker, and anyone those people gave root access to (which is often a long list of 'sponsorware' apps). Overall, the class of vulnerability is the same, but Apple just does a far better job of vetting and controlling the list of people/code. |

This as well as the extreme lack of trust for anything Google. Apple has an incentive to keep the privacy kick going, Google is already figuring out a way around Apple nuking ad identifiers. Trust is important.
