Apple uses the location services to improve their ads!
Apple agrees that they have collected their users locations since 2008. It is admittedly possible to disable the location services, but after changing the configurations no application can use the service anymore. The collected data shell be used for the advertising service iAd to tailor ads to single users. More precisely to show the users ads containing shops nearby. This hits all Apple products with location service, even Mac-Computers.
Whether this way of doing is legal will be decided in court.
