Criminy? Not really. Rather hysterical writing by 'pundits' who are 
stirring the pot in their own interest.

Apple has no idea where you've been. The file exists only on your 
phone (an in your backups of your phone). The data is not transmitted 
back to Apple. Furthermore, this is not GPS data, it is tower 
triangulation data.

AT&T on the other hand, has always! known where you are. Same for 
every mobile network provider.
