Federal Lawsuit Filed Against Apple Over iPhone Location Tracking

The two men, Vikram Ajjampur, a Florida-based iPhone user, and William Devito, a New York iPad owner are taking Apple to task over the way iOS keeps tabs on location data - presumably the pair don't want Cupertino's finest knowing just how many times they visit McDonalds/Chipotle/generic food establishment.

Unfortunately this is the kind of madness that lawyers like to get behind, and it's only a matter of time before a jobs-worth politician joins in.

Steve Jobs has said the company's software doesn't keep track of your recent locations, however.
