An innovation devised by Apple was revealed yesterday. It gave rise to a patent from the U.S. Patent Office.
Apple offers to alter the level of security and functionality available on the iPhone depending on where the user is located. Thus, using geolocation through mobile and wireless networks, the iPhone might behave differently to improve the safety and welfare of its owner.
For example, when the user is at home, a simple unlock code would be required, but even when the iPhone is detected in an area where the population density or the number of public wireless networks are more important, and therefore where the iPhone is more vulnerable and may therefore require additional security, the release by TouchID then become mandatory.
