There are several applications that let you view an image's metadata.

Any device that uses a geotagging feature to tag the latitude and longitude of an image stores the image's latitude and longitude in the image's exif metadata. This is true of the iPhone as well, and while there is no built-in way to read the metadata of an image taken with an iPhone, there are a number of apps available on the App Store that allow you do so.
