Your iPhone Is Tracking You. So What?, NYT article, David Pogue.
Your phone is tracking you.
This news, inevitably, has triggered quite a bit of breathless alarm online. Ooh! Apple is spying! Ooh! The government is tracking! Ooh! Big Brother is watching!
The news has also triggered quite a bit of misinformation.

The issue is consent.
If you take a picture of a pretty lady in a state of dishabille, with her consent, a model release form and records in compliance with USC, Title 18, Section 2257, it's art and a very good thing.
If you take the same picture with a hidden camera without her knowledge it's several felony counts. It doesn't matter if the picture isn't very good.
If Apple tracks your every move without notification and consent it's a violation of your trust and your right to privacy.
