I bet you can't even name 3 parts under the hood of your car that you can replace

a phone.

For most people with normal lives, knowing how to keep their car running is critical and
knowing that their phone has a GPS location in a photograph would be trivial information.
Parts off the top of my head that I have personally changed... fan belt, carburetor, gas pedal cable, radiator with upper and lower hoses, brakes, changed out the rear bonnet on my '74 Super Beetle, replaced the left front fender too. Oh and of course I've changed out the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor, distributor cap & rotor, fuel filter, air filter, and all that shit...

Anyway, geotagging is not a piece of trivial information. It's a very mainstream function of phones and photography. The function glares you in the face every time you open up the Properties of photos taken by Blackberry phones, and it's under the General Location Settings of the iPhone... it's not hidden. There is nothing underhanded going on by the manufacturers.
