You!

Yes, that's right. Your iPhone is officially keeping tabs on you.

iPhone tracking shows everywhere you've been. Why would Apple save this information?

Who knows why Apple wants to keep track of you. The scary part is they're doing it.

Can you give us a few reasons as to why Apple is doing this?

    Its in the Bible everyone will have a Number if they have not they wont be able to trade or sell,all of this is a Prelude to this ,in our Country we now have a Number from cradle to Grave so when all the new world order comes everyone will be able to be kept tabs on with GPS all Goverement dept does is tap in number and your corodence will come up ,that is why their experementing with such things at the moment ,if they can track a stolen machine anywhere in the world that has a chip in it ,its only matter of time it will be same for Humans,no more tax evasion,no more welfare fraud i could keep going the technology is endless they will track everyone ,your working in the day say as a electrician paying your taxes ect you go do nixer at night GPS shows your movements Hope you now know why they want to have you tracked.

    I reallly don't know why, but if they are it's an invasion of privacy. I don't have one as it happens, but now I'm glad I don't if that is indeed what's going on.
  • EdWhite... TasselLady 2011/04/25 04:07:45

    What the article fails to mention is that your phone tracks you, but doesn't send the info anywhere. Not Apple, not AT&T, NOWHERE. It is tracked in case you need to access it later (or of you want to send in reports yourself to AT*T through their app to report dead zones). You, in effect, are tracking yourself. That's it.

    Much ado about nothing.

    yes, and if it is a cell phone from another country.... we have just made it easier for them to "map" out all of our roads with their built in GPS systems (just in case they ever wanted to invade the U.S.) of course..... that could never happen. Right? John Steven Grissom stevegtexas@aol.com

    I haven't got a clue. I don't have an IPhone. I don't own ANY Apple products....has something to do with a 2C I worked with years ago. Not a big fan here.

    However, a friend of mine always has the latest and greatest of the Itoys......and they ain't happy about this. Seriously.

    because it's not. All of the info stays on the phone. It's like asking "Why is TomTom or Magellan tracking you?" It's all media hype because iPhones are ridiculously popular.

    That really isnt funny.......and Obama is NOT the one who came out with it. Maybe you should look up all the stuff our technology companies are doing. In fact a very interesting research to look into is what Sony is doing to its customers.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHA NO! You wake up!!!!!!! Phone tracking has been avidly up and running for far more years then the President has been in office. do your research. Sony, Apple, all of them are always trying to find ways to track people so that when they come out with a new product things that people did to tweak it all of a sudden doesn't work or requires payment, or even breaks your warranty. get it right
