You'll still need to bring your iPhone out with you then and thus it will capture your location and more for the companies to data-mine.

Why? Do you have many unplanned urgent banking needs? Everything that needs an unmodified phone can wait until I get home.

Sometimes when party tickets come online I have to be really quick to buy them for early bird price.
