Some phones, even if they are turned off, still send telemetry data.

I can't find anything other than redditors making this claim. Is there a better source I can look into?

    I can't find any articles on it at this time. However, apple recently made it so that find my works with the phone off. My phone gives me warnings about this when I shut it down.

    Here's a pdf link to a 2020 NSA publication on the subject: https://media.defense.gov/2020/Aug/04/2002469874/-1/-1/0/CSI_LIMITING_LOCATION_DATA_EXPOSURE_FINAL.PDF

    It seems that powering the device off is sufficient unless the device is compromised.
