The iPhone unquestionably has real GPS (since the iPhone 3G four years ago) — in fact, in certain ways its GPS is quite a bit better than “normal” GPS, because it can use Wi-Fi signals to achieve position lock much faster than with GPS alone. However, like almost all non-dedicated GPS units, its antenna is very small, and so it won’t get lock in many cases where a dedicated, standalone GPS unit would.

I have just spoken with Apple technical support and their response was that the iPhone does not, and never has, had "real gps". No data connection, no gps. Data connection, gps.

You can use cell service or wifi to get gps but if you have no service, you have no gps. And, according to them, that has always been the state of gps on the iPhone.
