MacRumors reports that Apple is testing an iPhone setting for users in China that lets them add apps to a list blocking access to the device's motion sensors. The outlet describes how some Chinese apps show “shake-to-open” ads at launch: simply picking up the phone, walking or going over a bump in a car can trigger unwanted redirects. Apple hasn't explicitly said what the setting is for.
