Hidden Tracking Files Found in iPhone, iPad
Apple faced questions on Wednesday about the security of its iPhone and iPad after a report that the devices regularly record their locations in a hidden file.
The report came from a technology conference in San Francisco, where two computer programmers presented research showing that the iPhone and 3G versions of the iPad began logging users’ locations a year ago, when Apple updated its mobile operating system.
After customers upgraded the software, a new hidden file began periodically storing location data, apparently gleaned from nearby cellphone towers and Wi-Fi networks, along with the time.

Gee, you might want to look into a smartphone with an open-source OS, like Android…
……or stop using technology that amounts to inserting a wire up your arse, and letting everyone and anyone view your personal life.
