Beware all iPhone users....

Beware all iPhone users, as you are being tracked by none other but Apple.

As per the recent allegation against Apple on a site called iPhone Tracker, Apple devices appear to be tracking their owners' locations and storing data about people's whereabouts without their knowledge. The unauthorized surveillance started in June 2010, when the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system was released, according to two researchers who say they discovered a hidden tracking file and posted it out of concern for users. Though, Apple has not yet responded to the allegations.

As per the iPhone experts, this data is stored on a person's iPhone or 3G-enabled iPad and on computers that are synced with those devices. There's no evidence, that this data is also transmitted to Apple as it's collected.

By passively logging your location without your permission on these devices, Apple has ultimately made it possible for anyone from a jealous spouse to a private investigator to get a detailed picture of your movements.

The location data appear to be collected at random intervals over time, using cell phone towers to triangulate approximate locations. And these data are stored in a file named consolidated.db, and that it's unclear why Apple would collect this information. It seems to be more like a mistake then an intentional mischief.

No matter what it is, if you are an iPhone or iPad user you must be wary about what you do and where you go because your spouse or an investigator might be tracking your moves.
