It is nothing new. In previous iOS, this data was not presented to users at all.

Android does this too.

At least you can turn this off in iOS 7 beta 5.




- It was invisible to the normal user! - It collects these exact data since iOS 7 beta 4 and shows it since beta 5!


This is just flat untrue. It has collected this data since b1 and I found the screen that showed it in b2 or b3 (but it was probably present in b1 as well). It also explicitly asks you if you want this feature (separate from the location services opt-in).
