iBeacons can help a phone show notifications of items nearby that are on sale, and it can enable payments at the point of sale (POS) where customers don�t need to remove their wallets or cards to make payments.

big fuckin' deal. i still have to remove my phone from my pocket. this is not a massive victory

By design, the iBeacon advertisement frame is plainly visible. This leaves the door open for interested parties to capture, copy and reproduce the iBeacon advertisement frames at different physical locations. This can be done simply by issuing the right sequence of commands to compatible Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongles. As of Feb 2014, successful spoofing of Apple store iBeacons have been reported. [23] This is not a security flaw in the iBeacon per se, but application developers must keep this in mind when designing their applications with iBeacons.

i'm pretty sure apple's pr department wrote this wikipedia article

iirc depending on how it's set up you can only turn it off by deleting the app that's listening

thank apple that this is granular enough to do, as opposed to just a blanket on/off the the service and having to accept it on any app that wants it.

sure, i'd like maps and the transit app to have some clue where i am. i'm not sure that my banking app or super ball breaker HD really need it.

i'm also glad that not every photo of my cat has precise GPS co-ordinates for my apartment embedded in it.
