Along with the iOS 4.2 update, Apple is also rumored to be unleashing “Find my iPhone“ for free without a tie to a MobileMe account or rather to a free limited version. We had reported recently of these footprints found in iOS 4.2.1 Golden Master.

Find My iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch — the MobileMe feature that helps you locate your missing device and protect its data — is now free on any iPhone 4, iPad, or fourth-generation iPod touch running iOS 4.2.³ Once you set it up, you can find your lost device on a map, display a message on its screen, remotely set a passcode lock, and initiate a remote wipe to delete your data. And if you eventually find your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can restore everything from your last backup.
