In a post on Reddit that is causing a stir and many... comments, user Glarznak from Canada reports that the iPhone 5s he owns continued to track and record his movements, even when... its battery completely ran out of power .
He says he was on a trip abroad when charger broke , so he decided to leave the "dead" phone in his bag and continue his escape for the next four days without attempting to charge the device (he even clarifies that he had another phone with him to communicate with his family). However, as he notes, this did not prevent the device from recording his every move...
The iPhone 5s owner in question had the Argus to track his steps on the device and, upon returning from his vacation, found that the app had… counted everything for the four days that his phone was dead. “I’m impressed and horrified at the same time,” he says, and under the post there is a real panic of comments about the truth of his data, whether the iPhone 5s and its M7 co-processor actually have such a feature, but also the role of the Argus App, GPS (and maybe a fitness tracker?) in all of this.
The iPhone 5s, as a reminder, incorporates the M7 motion co-processor, a chip that has the ability to record the user's steps and power third-party fitness apps.
Furthermore, in any case, when a device's battery "dies", there is still a small amount of energy reserved for some of the device's components. This is known, but it remains remarkable how, if we believe the story as it is told, the M7 managed with this energy to keep the user's movements for four consecutive days without him having to charge the device. What do you think has happened?
