Nah, if Apple thought it was just user's paranoia they could have posted the data file from Steve Jobs personal iPhone to demonstrate that there's absolutely nothing to be concerned about.

Steve doesn't have a personal iPhone; last I heard he had gone over to Windows Phone 7 for the larger screen.

Hmmm ... I preferred to think of this as a business opportunity -- Virtual Tour Operator. For a "reasonable fee" I would be willing to hack into your Ipad/Iphone and edit the tracking file to show interesting and exotic locations that you've never actually been to, and could otherwise never afford.
