In an email response allegedly from Steve Jobs, responding to the statement that a user may switch to a Droid because it won’t track his location:
> Oh yes they do. We don’t track anyone. The info circulating around is false.
That’s a great statement. We know that Android users are tracked as well, but to say that information surrounding the very obviously existing location database is ‘false’, is just odd.

It has occurred to me that he could be responding to whether or not Apple is using that data, but I think the strong argument being made on the web is: “why”.
