iPhoneTracker reveals… extra-terrestrial excursions??!
I finally had a moment to more fully look into the scandal which broke this past week about the iPhone “secretly” storing your approximate location every few minutes for up to the past year in an easily accessible database file (see Andy Ihnatko’s explanation). According to John Gruber, it’s likely a cache removal bug that allows the data to persist for longer than its likely intended purpose.
I just downloaded the iPhoneTracker application and let it open my ‘consolidated.db’ file and, low-and-behold, it looks like my iPhone and I have taken some trips I don’t recall. Should I be worried?
