iPhone records every movement you make, unknowingly to you


Security researchers have discovered that Apple's iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner's computer when the two are synchronised.
The file contains the latitude and longitude of the phone's recorded coordinates along with a timestamp, meaning that anyone who stole the phone or the computer could discover details about the owner's movements using a simple program.

Worst part is, Apple does not encrypt or hide this file that shows the information nor do they tell their customers that they track every move you make, every step you take, They are watching you. Phrase taken from Sting :) Come on Apple, what is the point of doing this?

Insert the data into a program like this...
...and end up with a plot course on a map like this.
