Point collection locked to GPS-position on iOS 7 - bug

Question

We have tried Collector 10.2 on iPad2 (iOS 7.0.4) and noticed a bug. 
The service is on an ArcGIS Server 10.2.1. Under service properties -> 'Feature acces' the 'Allow geometry updates' is disabled.
While collecting a new point, it is locked to the gps-position. Nothing happens by tapping the map in order to move the point, that we want to create. If the 'Allow geometry updates' is enabled, the point is not locked to the gps-position.

We have tried the same on an Android device with the same version of Collector. There the point, that we want to create is not locked to the gps-position. This is the behaviour we expect.

This is the approach we have used:
open map > open the 'Collect a new feature'-menu > select the type of feature to collect
This is where the position is locked to the GPS-position.

We tried a different approach:
open map > long press on the map
And that's when the callout appears and gives us the option 'Collect here'.

I prefer the way Android-devices do this.

Thanks a lot, Russ!

Here are the steps for "Collect Here". you will need to have the latest version of Collector that is available in the app store or play store.

Let me know if this helps you out.

Also you could disable the update capability and just use Create Delete Query which will allow your field crew to create features and move them, delete features and then query them to get the popup info.

This would not be suitable, because the field workers must be able to update the attributes.
