Prevent iPhone from Tracking Your Moves

Last few days you may heard about the iPhone apps can spying on you and track all your moves for devices running iOS 4.x . Security researchers have revealed that iPhone tracks user’s location and stores it in a secret hidden file which is replicated to the computer once it’s synchronized with the device.

The file contains data about your latitude and longitude along with the timestamp. This information can be easily accessed by jailbreaking the phone, unfortunately, on the computer even without that. Moreover, the file is not encrypted and can be read by just anyone using a simple app.

Now thanks to a new Cydia app called Untrackerd, you can easily prevent your jailbroken iPhone from tracking down all the bits and saving it to a secretly hidden database file.

Continuously clean up locationd’s history data in the background.

This package installs a daemon (process that can run in the background) to clean the consolidated.db file

Available for free on Cydia under BigBoss repository, simply search for Untrackerd on Cydia and install it to prevent your iPhone from tracking your location.

Developers Testing iPhone 4S ?

According to 9 to 5 Mac that it has heard from a source that Apple has been providing developers at high-level iOS gaming companies with new prototype iPhone models based on the A5 system-on-chip found in the iPad 2. The developers are said to have been given access to the devices, which look exactly like the iPhone 4 from the outside, to assist them in preparing for advanced graphics and computational performance available with the new chip.

They already have select developers working on versions of their iPhone applications that take full advantage of the next-generation iPhone’s speedier and much more powerful hardware. These developers, seemingly from high-level gaming outfits, have been given what is essentially an iPhone 4 but with an A5 processor instead of an A4. The device itself is virtually identical to the iPhone 4, and there is no way anyone can tell it’s not an iPhone 4 based on the phone’s exterior.

The source is reportedly calling the prototype iPhone an “iPhone 4S” in a nod to the iPhone 3G-to-iPhone 3GS transitioned, but that appears to be an unofficial name. The souped-up iPhone 4 is also said to reside in a company safe when not in active use, an understandable move given Apple’s penchant for secrecy..

More evidence to suggest iPhone 5 will feature multi-core processor

More evidence to suggest iPhone 5 will use multi-core processor ! Couple of days ago, we’ve been tipped off from one of our readers about an update of Geekbench 2 app which brings support for multi-core processors. This app runs performance tests on processor and memory.

In case you don’t know, all iOS devices use single-core processors so that suggests that the upcoming iPhone 5 and iPad 2 may get multi-core processor. As the tipster notes, they may have got an iPhone 5 tester.

This adds more evidence to a previous report from DigiTimes that states that the change is high for Apple to adopt a dual core processor for the next iteration of the iPhone.
