      How are you getting an Internet connection in which to download, if you’re in a Faraday cage?

        A faraday cage doesn’t neutralize all wireless communication in its area, just from passing through its walls. Meaning that any network hardware within the cage would work just fine. You could even just slip the antenna in and leave the rest of the unit outside if the cage isn’t large enough.

        Serious answer… the GPS (and location tracking in general) on an iPhone is disabled by default and you’re asked to opt-in when you set up a new device. You don’t have to enable location features and you can change your mind later — on a case by case basis as well. So you an have GPS in maps and weather reports, but not allow the general system services to access your location.
