Is iOS like Android where Bluetooth permissions are a part of the location info permissions?

  No. Out of spite I took the iPad to a friend's house, enabled location, clicked through the welcome screen and disabled it again. Then came back home and hooked up the device. So, no, it's not linked to its BT needs at all.

    How did you connect your device to your wireless network?

      Friend clearly didn't live very far away

        And therefore the location was within range of the WiFi network, not really netting a privacy gain, if at all? Especially since SSID databases exist and are used for more accurate location detection.

      iPad with mobile data?

      You connect to it via BT first and then configure WiFi details.

  That actually changed in Android 12. Now there is a nearby devices permission that doesn't require GPS access
