[Apple] said that over the next few weeks it would release a software update for iOS (http://www.securityweek.com/apple-update-ios-address-location-data-and-encrypt-cache) that would reduce the size of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database cached on the iPhone, cease backing up the cache, and delete the cache entirely when Location Services is turned off.
