ios cache limit for ipad and iphone

I am doing some site scans for some of our apps at work, and one of the issues (from Sort Site)says:

"Images, scripts and CSS files larger than 25k are not cached on iPhone and iPad."

Is this still true? If not, what is the cache limit, if there is one?

As I read that 2010 study the 25k limit only applies to your HTML. "Try to limit HTML pages to 25.6KB or less if you want them to be cached."

Other resources have a much higher limit. 4mb on IOS and 2 MB on Android. I would assume these limits will only increase in future so this study, while dated, is at least a good baseline.

It differs depending on your device iPhone vs iPad and Mobile Safari version. This study shows that the 25k Page Cache Size Limit apples to Mobile Safari iOS 3.2 on a iPad. But Mobile Safari, iOS 4.0 on a iPhone does not have this limit.
