According to a new document obtained by The Intercept, Apple records a log of which phone numbers you typed into their iPhone for a message conversation, along with the date and time when you entered those numbers as well as your IP address, which could be used to identify your location.

Don't all major cellular carriers already do this?   ???

You think?  Even before cells criminals knew not to talk about shit on the telephone.  This is No Shit Sherlock 101.  Don't believe every promise you hear from a company that wants your money.
