I guess it doesn't matter, the smartphone is a tracking device by definition, they can track your movement with a dumb phone too, but there are much more possibilities in a device with recording capabilities and an internet connection.

It's a bit of an irony, that Apple started with the big brother commercial, and ended up bringing us the televisor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIE-5hg7FoA Just because opportunity for an exploit is creating the reality of using that exploit, it seems as if it is then used for it's intended purpose..
