The iPhone location tracking saga took another twist today, with South Korea’s communications regulatory body ordering Apple Korea to pay three million won (about $2,828) for collecting personal information without authorization. The fine certainly won’t break Cupertino’s bank, but it surely does set a precedent, marking the primary time that a regulator has taken Apple to task over the problem. a number of weeks ago, a Korean court ordered the corporate to pay about $1,000 in compensation to a personal who brought action against Apple, as portion of a case it is expected to blossom right into a larger, class-action suit. Kim Hyung-suk, the lawyer spearheading the campaign, told Reuters that he is trying to file the lawsuit “by next week.” Apple’s Korean unit, meanwhile, continues to be claiming innocence , with spokesman Steve Park saying: “Apple isn’t tracking the placement of your iPhone. Apple hasn’t ever done so and has no plans to ever accomplish that.” Park, however, wouldn’t say even if the corporate will comply with pay the fine.
