In the previous post, because of heavily dugg story of uneasysicence, we posted a little guide for “fixing” the “exploit” that will send IMEI to Apple. Well, we had said uneasysicence reported may not be true at all but just to edit it for those who still worrying about it. Further, one of our commenter said:
“In the binary code of Stocks.app it looks like the %@ probably reference to the UUID. In Apple speech this is a unique ID of the application itself. More about this UUID. After some research I’m sure that this UUID is identical for the same app on different devices. ”
AND
“The german news site heise wrote an article about the message. They used an sniffer which is forbidden by the german law. This shows that the request is going to the apple server. But still, the imie paramter in the URL is the UUID from the application that makes the request. This ID is identical on all more than one (in the meantime I have results from a dozen) phones I’ve seen.”
So, Apple doesn’t send your IMEI to their server. Happy unlocked iPhone again. If you are still worrying all about it, follow the guide and “fix” it.
