"What would you think of it, if it is found out that Apple is transmitting your realtime and or complete location history in the form of GPS tracking data, to their headquarters?" There's nothing fundamentally wrong with that in my eyes. Google does it for me and I don't mind because I know some of the things they are doing with it: aggregating it to calculate real time trafic for maps and using it to improve their Skyhook-like database, which depends on correlations location with tower and/or wifi connection data. My problem with Apple having the same information is that I don't know what they are doing with it and I'm not aware of any way users are benefitting from it.
