Seconded, this is definitely a thing.

I did not realize this / check this. I had made the assumption of latest macOS and-what-have-you.

I however, cannot setup that environment right now.

I saw infrequent scans from locationd, every few minutes. Until I opened the Maps app, that is. Then it started triggering frequent scans.

Sure, Maps may want to know your location, but it should not have the ability to constantly poll wifi.

Also, different chipsets may display different behavior. Older wifi chipsets may have more trouble with this.

Don't play dumb, you're receiving downvotes because you implied OP was lying:

> To be fair anything anti-apple is a quick way to get clicks.

You got downvotes for being wrong about the issue being real. You get credit for attempting a test but your personal test failed. Oh well. A few downvotes in that case are normal and fine.

This is also true!

I just can't replicate it, and another user ( leodriesch ) pointed out they may be a few versions behind. That's not something I can replicate right now.

It's a lot better than it used to be, when every Daring Fireball entry stayed on the front page for days.
