One has to presume that the original file(s) can be accessed by iPhone apps. This is targeted marketeer’s dream and a privacy advocate’s nightmare. I guess my iPhone4 is going up for sale.

Apple isn’t collecting data | This is nothing new | It’s been there since before iOS4

I imagine this might be of some use in a future version of iOS (like when iGroups – or whatever are they going to call it – is introduced, for example). Or for some new developer API for iOS 5? Anyway, if it is for some future features, I am sure apps won’t be able to access it without asking. Apple should ensure the information is stored safer, though.
