IPhone Designed To Secretly Track Location of Users 
----------------------------------------------------



Security researchers have revealed that Apple's popular IPhone has been
designed to secretly track a user's location and store the information
on the device, without the user's knowledge. Some phones may contain
enough tracking information to trace a person's movement for an entire
year. Pete Warden is one of the researchers who discovered the secret
program. He said, "Apple has made it possible for almost anybody—a
jealous spouse, a private detective—with access to your phone or
computer to get detailed information about where you've been."
