How else can they location track you with location services disabled?

  Apple cannot ‘location track you’ using Bluetooth. How do you imagine that’d work?

    Yeah, next he'll be telling us he's getting stalked by "tracking chips" from Apple that use Bluetooth. How ridiculous, right? /s

    Not claiming they do it, but it seems quite possible to triangulate a coarse location via Bluetooth using other phones with their location services enabled. I tinkered with something similar in college, just using little BLE beacons intended for this kind of thing instead of phones.

      That’s third parties, not Apple, tracking people in a way that was blocked by Apple years ago. Apple devices rotate their Bluetooth MAC address regularly so they cannot be identified from the beacons.
