iPhone IMEI Tracking
Uneasy Silence recently discovered (and was confirmed by TUAW) that he Stocks and Weather widget on the iPhone apparently contact Apple’s server with URLs containing the phone IMEI number.
I use a iPhone in Canada with the Fido network and so far and the only problem I have is with the iTunes mobile store, which did worked the first time I tried and purchased a song from it but now no longer works for some reason. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one in Canada with iPhone making purchases on iTunes mobile store, and Apple must have noticed that and closed it down. Anyway, it’s definitely worrisome to know that Apple is tracking the usage (at the very least) of the iPhone and could potentially do much more with the information they collect.
