iPhone (iOS) Location Tracking
You may have recently read articles about Apple tracking you via your iPhone, this is patently false. Some researchers discovered on their iPhones, a file containing GPS locations of where an iPhone they had been; or so they had thought. The locations were of the cellular towers and WiFi hotspot in their vicinity and not the phone tracking them personally. All cellular phones cache these files to improve network performance. What is of a minor concern is that this file wasn't encrypted. This issue will be resolved in a soon to be related iOS update.
