There is a bit of a logical fallacy here. He says "the data is not extremely accurate", "metadata indicates apple intended to store locations of access points", "therefore the phone is not traking your location".

That's simply false. It is tracking your location, regardless of how accurately it's doing it, and irrespective of Apple's intentions.

That means someone reading the data can know roughly where you where when, the direction you where traviling in, and how fast you going.

Does that mean Apple set out to track you? No! But it does mean that your phone is tracking your position, all the time, everywhere you go, and is storing that data in a way that is not protected from exploration by any third party that happens to acquire access to it.

That's a serious bug, and is worth a little sensationalism.
