Post Your iPhone is tracking you.
If you are using any version of iOS4.x, you might want to give this a read. It's not extremely alarming, but it is pretty useful information. Multiple applications use geofencing. It's odd why Apple would be storing this information through backups, but I'm not too worried, personally.

Saw both of those articles this week. Scary shit. Glad I, too, have an android. Can't believe iphones and ipads backup that data file on your computer whenever you connect/sync them. Anyone can access that shit.

At least they could've encrypted the information. The good thing is that it doesn't seem like the data is transmitted anywhere. It's just there on your phone and your backup PC(s) for anyone to see, who has access to them.

Post Re: Your iPhone is tracking you.
reborn, read the link i posted. it says locations are transmitted to apple/google multiple times per hour. what you are referring to is the iphone file that stores ALL locations, which you are correct about as far as anyone can tell.

I can tell you now that they collect this information because it's easier to track people via FBI. What is one of the most widely used cellphones on the market? GG.

not to drown this thread with links, but here's an addition to this topic... now they've found all apple phones & devices as well as safari on mac's and pc's doing the same thing.
