“Android 15 includes location detection feature when the phone is turned off” – Tablets & Phones – News

This is correct. I can't help but make a big deal out of it, so I ignore it. In any case. Here it comes😊

“If you don't want Google to know where your device is, shouldn't you buy a Google device?”
Google's business model is simply to sell personalized ads based on the activities of its users.

So, if you purchase a Google product, you implicitly agree to this. Just as when someone buys an Apple product, someone implicitly consents to Apple knowing the whereabouts of that device.
You don't have to be happy about that. It's a reality at this point.

At Apple, you can disable this behavior (which can be detected when it is turned off) on the device. I assume Google can also implement this if there is a need.

But now in the practical sense. How many people turn off their phones, or want to turn off their phones so that Google can't track their devices?
I understand that this is the opposite of the question, but to me it is relevant.

Complaining about Google's data hunger when you consciously and actively use its services and know that by using its products you are actively participating in satiating this data shortage is a bit crazy.
This is a bit like going to France and complaining that too many people speak French. 😊. You know it's going to happen there.

You'll never hear me complain about Google. I do not use any of their services and products. The only thing I use indirectly every now and then is the Insidious proxy (eg https://yewtu.be/ ) towards a YouTube video, because Tweakers, NOS, etc. post all their videos there.
