Bloomberg reported that two Apple customers have filed suit in federal court in Tampa, Fla., citing a report that the iPhone and 3G iPad store time-stamped location data.
According to the report, Vikram Ajjampur, an iPhone user from Florida and William Devito, an iPad user from New York are asking a judge to bar the alleged data collection.
Last Wednesday, researchers Pete Warden and Alasdair Allan gained worldwide attention for their report on the data file, which they uncovered while looking for a way to visualize location data.
Ajjampur and Devito are asking for refunds as well, saying they would not have bought their devices had they known about the file.
Apple is facing scrutiny from lawmakers on the Hill as well as Illinois state attorney general Lisa Madigan and the governments of South Korea, Italy, Germany and France, Bloomberg reported.
