  Mm… haven’t read that but sounds right.

  I might be comfortable committing a crime if I had a time machine but barring that I’d just drive from the crime scene to the precinct.

    They still don’t solve them all, so it’s not impossible to get away with it

      It’s not like the police have access to every cell phone and can lookup who was where and when. You have to first become a suspect.

  When you turn them off, they’re not actually off. This way stuff like emergency calls and alarms can go through. I miss old phones where you could just pop off the battery.

    Do you have actual source for this information? I couldn’t find anything suggesting this.

      This is true. Apple’s excuse for it is that it’s used for FindMy and locking down a stolen device. So the Bluetooth and GPS and/or cellular radio still function with the device “off”.

        Luckily, draining an iphones battery is really easy.

        You can turn those off when powering the phone down.

  Which is not in any way shady or unexpected. Airplane mode is supposed to stop your device from emitting any radio signals. GPS receivers only receive signals and don’t send any, so there is no reason for GPS not to work in airplane mode.
