Does it track you only within ranges of supposed Wifis ?


location can be determined via one or more of wifi, cellular, gps
and/or bluetooth, depending many factors.


Imagine I know it well.

Does it even track you without any wifi in the range ?


it can, but obviously not via wifi.


Imagine I know it well.


In case of the former,

Does it track you only at known locations,
where the device has been before ?


for wifi, no.

Does it track you even at new locations
with wifis unknown to the device ?


for wifi, yes.


Without connection to get wifi location info ?

I would rather believe the tablet does not behave
in the way you suppose it to behave.

Sometimes a particular HW is present,
but not available for the user rather for business reasons,
being either deactivated or just not used.


very rarely.

in this case, there are two versions of the ipad, a wifi-only model and
one with cellular/gps.


It does not exclude what I said.

E.g. Xiaomi MI A1 does have the FM radio chip,
( one can listen the radio via the service menu )
but it is not mentioned in manual
and there is no builtin nor downloadable FM application
that would work.


that's only because the chipset they use already has fm.


Have I said otherwise ?

Have you noticed I did not ask you ?
