Have you ever had to use the Find My iPhone app? It’s a handy tool that you can use if you ever have your iPhone lost or stolen, which you install on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and allows you to find it on any computer or iOS device. The interesting part of the story linked below, is that dozens of people using the app were mysteriously pointed in the direction of one particular house in Atlanta, where their device wasn’t. The owners of the home say they “are terrified that altercations with people who believe the have their iPhones will get violent, or that police will kick down their front door some day… something that has, indeed, actually happened before due to faulty Find My iPhone tracking.”

This is what we call a material latent defect – something  that cannot be discerned through a reasonable inspection of the property.  In this case, the defect would make the property dangerous, or potentially dangerous, to the occupants.
