Apple has already done this. Even if you power off your iPhone, the phone still sends out an intermittent signal that can be picked up by other Apple iPhones, iPads, or computer that are in very close proximity.


Tap Settings > General and scroll down and tap Shut Down


Do you see the message that says "iPhone findable after power off"?
