Taiwan is asking Apple to blur mobile map images of a sensitive early warning radar station that can detect aircraft and missiles, reports note.
The defense ministry was irked after the Liberty Times, a local newspaper, printed a satellite image, downloaded on an iPhone 5, of a long-range radar base in the northern county of Hsinchu, AFP reports.
The $1.2 billion-plus, high-frequency radar is supplied by Raytheon. It can detect missiles launched as far away as China's northwest, articles said.
