I think you've somehow missed the massive impact this game has had, and therefore its relevance and significance.
It has to do with Apple because Pokemon GO for iOS was the only version of the game that resulted in Google Account scope issues because of the unnecessarily high elevated permissions being used by the iOS version.
Still has Nottingham to do with a rumor website that focuses on Apple products.
Besides: Yawn.
This. A million times.
Great.
Will it also fix Pokémon appearing in places they shouldn't appear in, like at all? Inside hospitals, police stations, on railroad tracks, governmental buildings, cemeteries, etc? Probably not. Shouldn't be hard to implement a no-Pokémon-zone for specific areas when you can literary use your player base to report no-go areas to the app.

iOS is an Apple product, this game is the top app in Apple's iOS App Store. It's more relevant than some of the other articles. Also, it's not just a rumour website, it has factual stuff too.... If you want to be predantic about the site, I'm surprised you didn't complain it wasn't a Mac related thing either....
PSA! You will still need to go into your Google account and revoke full access to Pokemon Go.
This update will cause it not to get full access, but it won't revoke the full access if it's already there (just tested)!
So go revoke it and then login after you update!

All the places pretty much game from the people playing Ingress, so the player base created them.
Interesting take on the game and AR (augmented reality) / VR. Basically the guy is saying this is the beginning of seriously successful AR / VR games and they are going to become hugely successful and important over time.

This (^) is the mentality of guys who miss the boat and "yawn" at things like facebook, snapchat, and in this case this game while others end up immensely wealthy. Yawn while preparing those TPS reports, and then complain about how you just don't understand why people are flocking to this thing you can't be bothered with. Enjoy keeping it real.
It's just one of the millions of Apps on the App Store and has no relevance to Apple's business. Sure, some kids play it right now, and the rest of us will move on. Pure clickbait content in lack of relevant tech news and no, if memory serves well this site does not usually write front page articles for many apps that happen to be popular someplace.
Putting AR and GPS in a mobile device app and a server updating the AR space goes back over a decade.
Before the iPhone, there was a group of people in Santa Cruz, CA (over the hill from Silicon Valley) that was using a Palm and a GPS sled (yes, GPS was an accessory back then) walking around downtown Santa Cruz in a "monster hunt" game where the monsters (mostly skeletons, ghosts and such) were on the sidewalk and in local parks. You would ether avoid them if unarmed or fight them if you found the right weapons also laying around downtown Santa Cruz. Defeat the monsters and you find treasure to accumulate, a classic Dungeon Crawl.
There was a local server and a "game master" placing weapons, treasure and monsters in different locations in downtown via GPS updates on the server to continue the game. Whomever did the AR and server work for Pokemon Go, I hope that Santa Cruz developer group got a piece of the Pokemon action. If not, a few have been sadly drinking for the past week over this first million user AR app.
The top app in the App Store that is getting people to use their devices more in certain ways and times than how those devices have been used in the past by most of those people wouldn't be something of a fair bit of interest to the manufacturer and its ecosystem and people that follow that manufacturer and its ecosystem.
Dam dude just don't read the thread. Stop being a ********.
