Except it's not tracking your location, it's tracking cell towers. I'm sure a lot of cell phones do this, to a different degree of "log length". The issue I have with a perpetual log of cell towers is not a privacy one, it's a space one (how long will the log be in a couple of years).
But hey, I'm not stopping anyone from hopping into the most recent episode of the iPhone hating bandwagon. It's what makes the internet go round (any hate bandwagon for that matter)
- kefs 16y agoGranted.. it is not tracking your fine location, but rather the location of the towers you connect to. Your location, however, is still reliable to within 200-1000m with triangulation. http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/cellid.php http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/cellid.php
