gizmodo.com — Yesterday's story was false. A German team has used a packet sniffer to decode the codes sent back to apple through the IMEI-related URL mentioned in yesterday's story. And the result is... that every phone sends identical information to the source. You can take off your tin-foil hats now.

So is there a good reason for the phone to be contacting Apple at all?

Told y'all, i said yesterday in the comments that it wasn't the actual IMEI and that that probably stood for something else!

Why WOULD the iphone send imei data to apple? They manufactured the phone, the service provider is the one that keeps track of those those things..
