Apple's iPhone is Not storing your accurate location, and Not storing history

I'm not sure how it's not storing history. I ran the app and it showed in timelapse how I'd traveled around, including a recent trip to Oklahoma. How on earth is that <i>not</i> storing history?<p>As to the accuracy, I don't know where the author lives, but my town must have pretty dense cell towers as it pretty accurately pinpointed my house and the streets I drive regularly.<p>I think the actual important question here is whether it's an invasion of privacy or not. At this point from the articles I've read it looks like the data is cache data that isn't transmitted back to the phone company and not available to random apps.<p>That said, I'm still happy this is receiving attention because if the phone can store this kind of info, you <i>know</i> the phone companies are logging this info as well. <i>That</i> is the real thing people need to worry about.
