I would imagine the airplane mode deactivates GPS signal recipience?

  Why? Would it only prevent transmission of radio signals, not reception of them. Just the TX, not the RX.

  I can confirm that it doesn't, at least on the iPhone 7. I recently took one on an overseas trip and left it in airplane mode the whole time. The photos I took during the trip were all properly geotagged.

  GPS is passive, so there's no need to disable it in airplane mode.
