Apple has apparently filed a patent for technology that might make its mobile devices more secure, though it’s also raised pointed questions about how privacy would be impacted if the company opted to implement the technology in its products. The technology could identify an unauthorized user, which would include hackers, jailbreakers and users who change out the device’s SIM card. It could also erase sensitive data on the device. In addition, it could transmit identifying information about the unauthorized user.
