in addition to that, wouldn't it have access to the MAC addresses of the wifi networks around you, and more importantly, be able to do a geo-ip check?

Wouldn't have access to MAC addresses.

Geo IP location is possible but unlikely: the location was very precise and accurate, and I would assume Verizon (wasn't on wifi) wouldn't be handing out IPs with that level of specificity.

Plus it only ever happened that once.
