FWIW you can debunk the Bluetooth myth by firing up bluetoothctl in monitoring mode having an iPhone either on or turned off.

iPhone being iPhone, even with Bluetooth "off" it will announce seemingly random MAC addresses (prefixes registered to Apple).

In my test only turning off the device removed the MAC addresses. It was an old device, so somebody would have to check if current devices will still go radio silent.
