I have little doubt that apple still uses things like wi-fi and bluetooth even if they are completely turned off. I complained when they made the change to the control panel. If I want bluetooth or wifi off, no button I push should turn it off partially or for “24 hours.”
It’s still running in low power mode when you turn the phone itself off so that I can still ping the Find My network. And it says this when you go to turn the phone off.
“They’re pretty open about that” doesn’t quite cut it, when I’ve seen examples in this lemmy post alone of people discovering the fact. We need removable batteries.
A removable battery wouldn’t do anything about it. They would just include a little unremovable CMOS battery that would be used to power the Bluetooth while the device is off or the main battery is removed.
The entire point of it is so that you can use Find My when the phone is off. If it’s lost, or stolen and they turn the phone off, it can still be found in Find My.

Well yeah, they’re pretty open about that.
