It can when using an app that requires or requests location services, when capturing a photo or video with location services enabled for photo/video capture, etc., but the amount of data involved is not great.
The iPhone uses A-GPS or assisted GPS which speeds up the intitial GPS lock from a cold state by using cell phone tower location to speed up the process.
