This one is not going to go away. This situation is going to be very expensive for Apple, in every sense. Wanna bet?

>>This is the height of arrogance on Apple's part, to collect this sort of data on customers. It is an outrage.<< Is there any evidence that Apple does collect it? It's one thing to have the data on the iPhone and within the iPhone's backup. It's a potential security problem if someone gets physical access to the phone or the computer. But so far I haven't seen evidence that even suggests Apple harvests this data. In your zeal to cast Apple as being evil, you're overstating the problem.
