On the other hand, Apple iPhone series, which use the mobile operating system (iOS), reportedly do not provide location data, but Apple reportedly refuses to comply with requests from the National Police Agency and Fire Agency, citing global privacy policies. The problem is that providing location information is a basic requirement to maintain the 'golden hour' when requesting emergency rescue, and in reality, location data requests from third parties are quite common.
