Bear in mind that the IP address is only one geolocatable entity that a
phone reports back to the site that is trying to locate your position.

IMHO, most Android phones are poorly set up such that they update your
(so-called) "precise location" to Google (via nearby Wi-Fi access points).

I'm not sure about iPhones though. Do they update your (so-called) "precise
location" (via local Wi-Fi access points) to Google & other servers?

Probably not since Apple does its equivalent of (so-called) "precise
location" differently. 

Differentially, Androids *upload* all the access points they can "see" to
online public Google/Mozilla/WiGle/etc., servers,. while iPhones *download*
that public access-point information. 

The question is *where* does Apple get that public AP information from?
