iPhone And iPad Track Your Every Move, and There’s a Map for That

~




An unencrypted file stored in iPhones and iPads constantly records a user's location data. An open source application was used to plot the location data from an iPhone belonging to a Wired.com reporter.




Your iPhone or 3G-equipped iPad has been secretly recording your location for the past 10 months.

Wired.com can confirm that fact: The screengrab above shows a map containing drop pins of everywhere yours truly has been in the past year.

NO ONE COULD PAY ME TO HAVE A IPHONE OR IPAD. I'LL JUST KEEP MY STRAIGHT TALK PHONE AND GET MY 1,000 MINUTES, 1,000 TEXTS, AND 30MB SURFING SPACE FOR $30.00 A MONTH......I HAVE MY HOME COMPUTER, SO DON'T NEED ONE IN MY "HAND!"
