I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.

Mostly agree except about disconnecting from the internet, classic SMS/voice calls aren't any more private than VoIP.

Your best bet for location privacy is E2E encrypted services like Signal over wifi, plus MAC randomization and a VPN on untrusted networks. I'd say GrapheneOS is good enough for most people, but mobile Linux has also come a long way.

    Encryption doesn’t stop them from knowing what tower you are attached to. Simply having a phone on you even with the GPS and WiFi off (or with the newer phones even the whole phone off) would still be enough to get your location to within a few hundred feet. The original iPhone used triangulation exclusively for location.
