Ethical & Legal Issues with iPhone and iOS 8

Regardless of your profession, whether you are a physician, attorney or another professional, your job duties affect lives of others. Every professional will receive, as a part of their formal training, courses that address ethical issues common to their professions. US author of Ethical Chic, Fran Hawthorne, told Channel 4 News: "Consumer pressure has definitely made online companies more sensitive to ethical issues like the environment, human rights, and privacy. In terms of privacy: Apple itself in 2011 had to back off from an effort in which iPhones and iPads were secretly collecting information on users' locations. There are a lot of reasons, including the Google 'right to be forgotten' ruling, the furor over Google Earth, the NSA revelations, fear of hacking, and I think, consumers just getting fed up with ads." Any new technology that is released is bound to come with issues; obviously technical but lot of times legal and ethical issues arise.

Now that technical issue can turn into a legal matter in no time. If customers are being charged for data usage and their photos are not accessible, that can create a dispute with consumers and Apple. The iPhone 6 launch has been the biggest ever with millions of phones sold around the world within the first week. In terms of revenue, the iPhone can be said to be the company’s most important device.

Apple did announce that the new operating system, iOS8 has been designed to hinder lawful search warrants. Under Apple’s old operating system, if an iPhone was protected by a passcode that the government cannot bypass, the government then has to send the device over to Apple along with a search warrant. Under the new operating system, however, Apple has devised a way to defeat lawful search warrants. “Unlike our competitors,” Apple’s new privacy policy boasts, “Apple cannot bypass your passcode and therefore cannot access this data.” Warrants will go nowhere, as “it’s not technically feasible for [Apple] to respond to government warrants for the extraction of this data from devices in their possession running iOS 8.” Anyone with any iPhone can download the new warrant-thwarting operating system for free, and it comes automatically with the new iPhone 6 (Kerr Washington Post.) Various iPhone settings allow the user to protect unauthorized access to their device and data. Some of these structures are not set by default but certain functions or customized applications are not as secure as they might appear which may lead the iPhone user to have a false sense of security.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Almost every iPhone user has high expectations towards their personal information and the security of it. Mobile phones represent a new and unique threat to customer data. Customized applications are assumed that they are secure and that they avoid exposure of confidential data, but that’s usually not the case. Lately, the newer the technology and operating systems are, the more they seem to be open to vulnerability. This new technology seems to be pretty troubling because its being used by merchants and law enforcement agencies. Almost everyone else who needs to know where you can find out through this smart device we carry around.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">While users of iPhones may not be aware, these new technologies have huge ethical and privacy implications. There is a question of security and threat to individual privacy, even in public places individuals deserve some privacy, resulting from the collection, aggregation, and centralization of personal information, without user consent of the user and also in the absence of laws that apply in these situations. Mobile devices increasingly hold and store more private data like personal and business and they are roaming in public spaces on public networks with limited security and cryptographic protocols to protect the data. Also because of the fact that these devices have the ability to roam on several networks, there is a wider sphere of attack beset by geographical, legal, and moral differences.
