According to latest report by Apple Insider, Apple has been sued again with a charge of sharing iPhone unique device ID and location information with third party advertisers. Case is filed in United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico by Lymaris M. Rivera Diaz. Reports say that Apple faces six different charges, including fraud, abuse and unfair trade practices.
It’s second consecutive month that Apple has faced a lawsuit, previously in April regarding location tracking through a secret file. Apple lately explained the issue on launch of iOS 4.3.0. According to steve Jobs, people misinterpreted and so jumped to a wrong conclusion, the database in question is actually a crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers!
