The issue focused on what information from different devices was available to software applications. "This technology can't have an impact on you," said computer science professor Ben Schachter, who led the lab.

He says they did not really think about this until more than a year later when they started trying to move forward with their research. The machine learning capabilities in iOS 6 will make it possible for hardware devices to perform computations that computers could only do if they were running on servers. "We're able to
