- iamnothere 7mo agoUse one of the few phones with hardware kill switches or removable batteries.
- catlikesshrimp 7mo agoIf you cover your phone with an antielectrostatic bag it can't communicate; that is a Faraday cage. Since people around you will think you are also wearing a tinfoil hard, you had better stick to the phones with hardware switches as sibling comment mentions
- kube-system 7mo agoMost of those bags are total BS
- mulmen 7mo agoSeems easy to verify with an iPhone. Put it in the bag, transport the phone, look it up on Find My.
- kube-system 7mo agoEven easier, put any phone in the bag, call it. Does it ring? IME, yes.

- SoftTalker 7mo agoIt's "on" enough to detect the activity needed to wake it back up. But will a powered-off phone still be pinging cell towers or making WiFi requests?
- mulmen 7mo agoYes, that's how Find My works.
