So this is why the government will never force Apple to have easy to remove batteries.

Why would they waste their time on Bluetooth tracking when your location pings cell towers and WiFi hotspots?

I like a lot apple products and how they achieved popularizing many technologies, being the next one LIDAR but, for the first time ever I feel this is just going way too far. Sure I want to find my stolen phone even when it is off, but it is way too much loss of freedom having a permanent personal tracker even when the phone is off…

It’s implemented as Bluetooth LE it seems, so I assume anything RF blocking for Bluetooth should do what you want.

Then just turn it off in Settings.

Do not try and power off the device. That’s impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

The truth?

There is no off.

From the Matrix, or something.
