Even disabling the GPS or “location services” in the iOS security tab will not hold an app back from guesstimating your location.

This was with an Android, but how else does it guesstimate your location? I assumed via IP

Much location detection uses WiFi mac addresses sucked up by stuff like street view cars. Uses much less power. Google have an API to look up a set (min 4) of mac addresses and tell you where you are.
