Surprise surprise. i1984 - I bow to my supreme rulers. haha!
Apple working in tandem with the N.S.A or Interpol is what specifically comes to mind for me when I see things of this nature.

It's fairly easy to tell based on cell tower usage and handoffs. That's already how most of the built-in navigation systems run.Originally Posted by Manicdan

Does this happen on Droid phones also ?
The researcher who discovered this on the iPhone looked at Android based devices but didn't immediately see a similar history file.
As for GPS, the OS could easily blip it on for a moment every so often to get your location if it wanted to. It's not like the GUI has the final say over what is on or off.
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
I think its the history file that is a concern.
Picture this, you are accused of a crime or some other nasty thing.
They subpoena your iPhone, look at the data and see that you were actually at a location on a certain date/time. Busted.
Not sure if that is really possible to do.
If law inforcement or some others really wanted to track you I am sure they could find a way that might, or might not include your phones GPS.
i see that all the time when im using google maps with gps off. some times its accurate to a hundred feet, but most time its about 1000ft, and it jumps around alot with every update.
i dont care if they know what city im in or what neighborhood, they cant get my exact location
some apps use it for finding local radio stations, like Last FM.

Not just the devices with cell radios in them. Wifi information is transmitted back to Apple as well.

uhh ohh
This quote is so true:
Truth be told Apple generation is reflected best by Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan for obvious reasons...if the government made people wear tracking devices you'd feel repressed. solution, put an apple logo on it and people will line up for days to buy one.
Its funny seeing how many Apple fans came to the defense like its nothing on engadget.

Totally legal to spy on people around you these days :\.
Called patriot act.
To be honest I just started study on this stuff.
I'm more interested in the demographics then the methodology at this point.
Anyways we are probably gonna see a whole lot more of this tracking stuff.
Do you mean the original Motorola Droid or the Droid line of phones from Verizon which is made up of several different models? Droid and Android aren't really interchangeable in this context if you are wanting accurate information.
good job, Jobs...lolz
the quote would be true had it said "oppressed". but what do you expect from youtube commentsit's funny how often these are mixed up though, like feminazis saying women are repressed. it's oppressed.

I don't want to play Apple's advocate here, but this is neither something new nor something illegal. This file is even featured in a book. This database is used by apps and there is no sign that these information is send to Apple.
Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks
US Congressmen seem curious why this is happening

Court order is only required to use the evidence in court. They can spy on you all they want and there is nothing you can do about it.
I activated an LG G2x yesterday and noticed that Android asked my consent to keep track of where I am for location services and included an option to send that data to Google. I clicked "No" on the sending data to Google bit, but it was the default choice.
I'm not saying they're much better, but at least Google was up front about being creepy.

Yup i have dissabled the use of location information on my Galaxy S, and GPS is always off unless i need to navigate
You all look at it in a way that you feel victimised
I see it as a protection measure
stop asking for pity
