As per a new discovery, it seems that the iPhone 11 Pro requests user location data, even if permission is denied to apps and system services.

This discovery comes via a report from KrebsOnSecurity. When all apps and system services are set to 'never' request location information, iPhone 11 Pro still tries to request location data. KrebsOnSecurity demoed this by disabling all permissions, and putting the iPhone in Airplane mode. When Airplane mode is turned off, the location services icon appears in the top status bar. This indicates location activity.
