Apple now also blocks websites from accessing motion sensor data via Mobile Safari.

All in all, SensorID is quite dangerous, as privacy-focused browsers, ad blockers, and other anti-fingerprinting techniques can't block this type of fingerprintinghttps://t.co/WUsZVI0DuH pic.twitter.com/9aE9y12ywh
This new attack/fingerprinting method is named SensorID.

It works by extracting "sensor calibration details" from a device's firmware. These are unique per device and can generate an identifier as unique and persistent as an IMEI code.

Apple patched iOS against SensorID fingerprinting in iOS 12.2, released in March.

Google is still investigating, but the number of impacted Android devices is low, as very few Android OEMs calibrate motion sensors for their devices.https://t.co/WUsZVI0DuH pic.twitter.com/WBm8MAX7B1

Your iPhone can be uniquely fingerprinted by apps and websites in a way that you can never clear. Not by deleting cookies, not by clearing your cache, not even by reinstalling iOS. https://t.co/RYLKyiXXTv via @theregister

Today @jz448 presented our fingerprinting attack @IEEESSP. We can build an identifier for iOS devices when the user visits a website or starts an app. It takes less than one second, no user interaction needed. Apple fixed in iOS 12.2, so update now.https://t.co/u2F5GoBw2s
