It is almost at a point where how a "simple" phone like this contains functions for Apple to track where you have been and the frequency of the visits is just pure second nature. Just look at THAT map. Scary?
I mean, it is probably fine for most users to willingly provide anonymous location data for whatever purposes manufacturers might have, but to do it (highly) secretively and without stating it clearly for most users (look, nobody I know read the agreements and stuff like that, because it's mostly filled with boring text and stuff we don't need to know), and choosing to hide such statements in the dark corners of the agreement?
"There's an app for that. That's the iPhone. Solving life's dilemma one app at a time." - Apple Inc., 2008 for their iPhone 3GS promotional campaign.I want an app to remove this creepy function. Now.
...unless I get to utilize it to stalk my friends?
