by David Allen on Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

We all know that software is used to track users and what they do, and therefore why should Apple be any different, well it simple really there are a lot people around the world who think that Steve Jobs is god and Apple is his religion of which they all follow.

This is why spying leave all of these folks with a bad taste in their mouths. So how does this work? When you use the iPhone and press the weather application, data is sent along to a web address at Apple and some details too, like the IMEI number etc, this can track where you are and what you are doing at the time.

This could also be used by Apple to find all of those unlocked phones, but users should check out their agreement if they don’t this and see if there is anything on there that will stop this from going on!
