Apple's iPhone 18 Modem Switch Comes With a Quiet Privacy Benefit

Apple is rumored to switch the iPhone 18 lineup to Apple-designed modems.

That could widen iOS 26.3’s “Limit Precise Location” feature to more iPhones.

The setting limits precise location data shared with carriers, while leaving app location and emergency calling intact.

Today, the feature is only available on certain Apple-modem devices and depends on carrier support.
