The first word of the title gets auto-capitalized no matter what you put inside, so you have to go and manually edit it to "iOS" afterwards. That's why you frequently see "IOS" and "IPhone" at the beginning of the title if the links are recent and no mod has edited it yet.
Your device has to be jailbroken to access it. This file doesn't show up in device backups.
Now - tried jailbreaking an iOS 7 device and seeing if it was still there? That might actually grab some headlines.
(Though, that might be a little hard for anyone who's decided to PIN / password lock their phone - since your phone has to be unlocked now to approve pairing to an unknown device ....)
