Apple health data used in murder trial

I wonder if you could poke a hole in that (widen the "where it thought it was" doubt) by pointing out incidents like when Facebook thought nearly everyone was in Philadelphia for a few hours.

My phone infrequently thinks I've left home without actually moving - far enough to trigger the 400m geofence around it and to switch the webcam into "I've gone out, HIGH ALERT TIME!"

I assume it's because it's not getting good GPS (I'm inside a block of flats), there's no cellular signal, and therefore latches onto a visible WIFI SSID (I can see 15+) that it's got a location for which just happens to be [somewhere else].

(Similar to when my phone used to think Euston Station was in Manchester because it was picking up the SSIDs from the trains as part of AGPS.)

Damn I always get left out of everything :-( lol I posted "Man it's weird having my house in Philadelphia" or something along those lines when it was saying that and I saw a friend that I hadn't seen in a while the other day and he was like "Hey I thought you moved to Philly? What're you doing here?" haha
