iPhone keeps record of everywhere you go

Privacy fears raised as researchers reveal file on iPhone that stores location coordinates and timestamps of owner's movements

How very 1984. :icon_roll

All mobiles trace your movements as they are constantly connecting with the nearest transmitter/receiver. Quite useful for tracing the movements of criminals 'tho.

Invasive for those of us that stay within the law. You might say a disincentive, generally speaking, to respect the law.

It might also be useful if you were called upon to prove where you were at a particular time. Not sure why anybody would see it as a disincentive to respect the law.

Then as someone who is willing to give up personal freedom to a corporation, the iPhone is the phone for you. Moreover I cannot remember a single instance where I had to prove where I was at any given time.

Finally perhaps you should ask those from the former Eastern Bloc, Egypt, China and alike how the invasiveness of their Governments promoted respect for the law.

Jeez, how many bees can a man have in one's bonnet?

You aren't required to own one Steven...if you were I might see your point...but you aren't.

As Apple quite consciously have this 'feature' on there mobile devices and seem proud of it, why don't they publicise it when advertising their products?

Wow, someone may know that I'm at home, football, the pub or at work. Other than Rio Ferdinand who the **** really gives a shit? Most people with iPhones appear to want to let everyone know via facebook where they are anyway.

iPhone twats are some of the most unsocial twats in existence, but they all seem to want to be constantly connected to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and a million other shitty social networking / blogging sites conveying their utterly worthless opinions to people who they don't know, usually while in the company of other people.

Wankers. Utter, total pricks.

It's not all iPhone users. Many on here are aware I own one. But I'm not constantly pissing about with it while at football / out for dinner / at work / getting noshed off like some people I know.

Well, I'm with you 100% Steven. I think it's an outrageous invasion of privacy and if people are happy to continue using a device that is logging their movements because they "have nothing to hide", then the name sheepPhone is even more apt.

When you visit junior schools in the mornings, don't take your iPhone with you, no one will ever know you are there.

HTC is at it too. I knew about this but you can turn it off and as far as I know there is no storage on the phone.

So you knew about it but forgot to mention it in this thread and instead chose to moan about Apple doing it.
