Remember iPhone location tracking? That was child's play. Should Apple have its way, future versions of its iOS mobile operating system might record every event you ever perform on your iPhone, iPod or iPad, creating a uniquely detailed footprint of your interactions with iOS devices. It would make geotagging a system-wide feature.
Every gesture invoked and input event registered could get timestamped and stored. Every phone call, every keystroke, every tweet, like, comment, game achievement, song played, you name it - basically any set of device data might get logged automatically.
But don't get all worked up about the privacy implications: good ol' Apple isn't up to nefarious intents. Matter of fact, the goal with this invention is a noble one: provide a searchable, actionable lifestream of sorts to make your mobile computing easier, more meaningful and tailored for you.
So how does the Cupertino firm plan to pull it off? Simple: by way of using a journaling file system that's already present in OS X...
