In fact, you can completely disable location services with one switch. (Settings --> General --> Location Services --> Off)
If you prefer a more granular approach, all apps (including Apple's own), allow you to disable location services for that app alone. In addition, all 3rd party apps, on first requesting location data, require the user to explicitly opt-in.

- neonfunk 16y agoIs there an iAd daemon? Anyway, I'd hope that explicitly disabling all location services would do just that. If headless apps were still powering on the GPS and triangulating cell towers and wifi... well, that'd certainly be misleading. But I doubt that's the case.
- Tyrannosaurs 16y agoIf it were powering on the GPS that would be significant. Aside from the privacy perspective, many people power down GPS to save the battery which is something which should absolutely be something which remains under user control.
