iPhone Apps Sharing Users' Personal Details - Is This A Worrying Trend?
Third party apps are without doubt one of the primary aspects driving the success of the iOS platform. One major area of concern with such applications is in the way they manage users' personal details.
With over 200,000 applications on the App Store, it could be an administrative nightmare for Apple to ensure that the app developers do not breach the privacy of their users.

Seems wrong, Especially them knowing my location. But this is not going to get any better. From search engines holding what you search. Cameras on corners, light and highways and even on star they all spy on us. But us the ppl let it be. Wow that got out of bounds lmao.

This is so wrong, Apple just do something since they eat 40% of the share.

Simple solution: Firewall app that shows the user ALL outgoing connections (and content), and allows the user to allow/block.If Apple really believes that "privacy and trust are vitally important", then we should see that feature in the next release...I'm not holding my breath.
