This is hot news at the moment. The iPhone apparently records everywhere you have been in a file that you can’t delete.
Privacy groups are outraged (I agree with them to a large extent). Australian police are ecstatic though. Also covered in the Independent.
Apple has shot itself in the foot again.
Apparently, this facility was introduced in the last OS update. You’d think they’df have warned people, wouldn’t you?
At the moment in the UK there is a huge row over phone tapping by the News of the World newspaper. A judge has ordered test cases to be heard. Almost no one (except the News of the World) believes that secretly tapping peoples phones to publish dirt on them isn’t bad.
Perhaps Apple will be able to explain how this is any different?
