No battery no signal
These folks make some pretty good products (just sayin'): https://mosequipment.com/. Available on Amazon, too; just search "mission darkness" or "faraday bag". Although the Faraday shielding beanies and caps are...uh, a little...much. :shock:
Cool site.

IPhone’s don’t have removable batteries. If you power it down does it still ping a location? Asking for a friend.
Just catching up to some old posts.

I'm curious about why would anyone worry about shutting off their phone or trying to hide it from being pinged while out and about when it can't be used if off or battery removed instead of just leaving it at home on or off. Have I missed something?
Apparently you have. I have an iPhone and have decided to live with the downside. Too many upsides, and I'm pretty well a vanilla milkshake. Just can't imagine anybody will get anything actionable on me, even though I'm sure they know every where I've been since 2010. You can't remove the battery and even when it is "off" the network tracks it's location. When it's on, Seri is listening ALL of the time for activation phrases. We only have Apple's word that that info isn't recorded and monetized. Yeah right!
Me too except I don’t have siri activated. Maybe she’s still listening, IDK.

I was just saying that if a person didn’t want to be tracked (I.e. out for nefarious reasons) they could just leave the phone at home.
