Yes, the iPhone’s location can be turned off entirely. However, you would not be able to receive calls or text messages because your cellular carrier would not know which cell towers could provide service to you. Therefore, cell phone companies need to track the location of devices on their networks to provide service to them. The people on this list want this kind of service. If you do not, then you should use an iPhone touch or keep your device permanently on airplane mode.
Otherwise, you can keep the cell service and determine which apps can access your location under privacy in the settings app. Realize all apps owned by Alphabet, including YouTube, google and google Maps constantly track your location even when the app is closed. It is necessary to configure settings in your Google account to stop google from hanging on to location information.
