First article:

AP found that Google continues to track you through services like Google Maps, weather updates, and browser searches — any app activity can be used to track you. By turning off Location History, you’re only stopping Google from adding your movements to its Timeline feature, which visually logs where you’ve been.

Last November, Quartz reported that Android phones still collect your location data from nearby cell towers and send it to Google, even if you toggle off location services and take out your SIM card.

Also, first article talks about android phones.

Second article (presumably, but almost 100% sure) talks about android devices because it talks about methods of gaining the location data by air pressure, which apps on iphones don't have access to (also, if the user has no google apps on their iphone, google has nothing).

The guy I talked about who asked the question waved an IPHONE.

Android is made by google, which obviously still tracks you whatever you do.

The guy from that photo was asking about search results etc. The guy you're talking about was the guy before the guy from the photo.

Also, yes, what you say is true.

Google is evil.

"I-phones"

cringe

Also, better than android, especially regarding tracking. Tested it myself, unless there's a chip in every iPhone that's seperate from wifi, bluetooth, gprs, 3g, and lte.

absolutely! I re-did their experiment myself, using open-source software. The android phone I tested, with all default google apps installed, did the same as that news piece; sent information about my locations (roughly, as gps was off) among other things once it re-gained a connection to my own (modified so I could see data going through it) wifi network, it sent it.

The android phone without any google apps (i needed to ROOT IT to delete some frameworks..) STILL sent the information.

The iPhone, with all the same google apps installed, did the same: sent information about my location and other things.

The same iPhone, re-flashed and without google apps installed did NOT do that.

So yes. It's really only google that does this.
