I can confirm that the Android cache.cell and cache.wifi lists are very limited. I just checked mine using your parse.py, and was only able to see 50/200 total records respectively. My cell data only went as far back as 13 days ago.
"The unlimited size of Apple's cache is probably just a mistake."
I think this is what concerns people most. This "mistake" has your triangulated location based on cell towers tracked for years and years, across multiple devices, when there really is no recognizable need to store/cache this much location data for this long. It seems, judging by the above linked source-code, that Android has it right on this one.
- dailyrorschach 16y agoI ran the program and looked at my iPhone dump, and it is not that exact and I live in NYC. It truly appears to just tag position of towers. Where it shows the dots for me is not exact or even close positions most of the time, and even locations that I've never been to but the nearest tower I must've connected to. Which is helpful for me since I've long suspected AT&T has a dearth of towers in my section of the UES, maybe I can get a microcell out of this, haha.
