    Couldn’t they just find out via triangulation (which is a way that high precision location things work already, by using 3 points of a known location like antennas and looking at the connection strength to each tower)

      They would already know to a very high degree, because the device associates with a specific cell tower, and the cell size is quite small for 5g networks, especially in cities. I don’t see why they would need a more accurate info.
