Tracking File in iPhones

Here is another article about the privacy and new technology. Apple iPhones and iPads record their locations in a hidden files, the report came from a technology conference in San Francisco said. A new hidden file periodically stores location data, apparently gleaned from nearby cellphone towers and Wi-Fi networks, along with the time. The data is stored on a person’s phone or iPad, but when the device is synced to a computer, the file is copied over to the hard drive, the programmers said. Looks like we need to think about privacy breach and security problems with any new device we are using
