The iphone & ipad is secretly traking your every move!
Everywhere you go, the devices internally store a year worth of data,
and Apple is collecting all the data, regardless what you do!
And you cannot opt out of it even when turning off location or any setting!
Time, location, and gps information...
I hope they get hell for this..
I advise anyone with iPhone to switch to another device!
Devices:
iPad2, OS4..
