Apple sees the reporting device’s ip-address. Obviously Apple is in an excellent position to spy you anyway, but the claim that even Apple doesn’t know where the turned off device is doesn’t hold for the reporting devices: Apple can infer which reporting devices are in proximity.
And they possibly even know who the reporting IP is because of iCloud.
