User XianLi from friendly website Hackint0sh has found in code of such applications as Stocks and Weather very interesting line:

http://iphone-wu.apple.com/dgw?imei=%andapptype=finance

This fragment of code sends to Apple information about applications which you start while connecting to the Internet, your IP-address, names of the companies, which shares you are interested in, and they can trace you worldwide where you would be. I congratulate, you became the public person.

This is opinion of RiP Dev Team:

Though this parameter refers to IMEI, iPhone sent unique casually generated UUID - unique identifier, allowing to trace your iPhone, but without any confidential information.

This is URL where my iPhone goes from Weather.app, for example:

http://iphone-wu.apple.com/dgw?imei=6A56F7D6-89AA-477E-B7B5-E17B4B72DBE7*apptype=weather*t=3

So don’t be afraid a lot, Big Brother watches you, but very lazy…

Thanks to iPhones.ru
