Conversely, cell phone records have been ruled inadmissible in court to establish an alibi since such records only establish the device’s whereabouts not its owner’s.

Huh? That doesn't seem very likely. I have seen no ruling establishing such a precedent. Do you have a case or state? I would be interested in reading the judges opinion.

Cellphone evidence may be easily rebutted by either prosecution or defense, but it would be unlikely that a judge would "rule it inadmissible". Its evidentiary value would be something left for the jury to weigh, not the judge, FWIW.
