deferredLocationUpdatesAvailable returns NO in iOS 10

I have already filed a Radar (28303779) with proof of concept sample code - also contains the wording from the radar. I have also opened a dev forum post and it appears a lot of engineers are facing the same problem. deferredLocationUpdatesAvailable() is also returning false in iOS 10. Seems like apple has intentionally turned off the functionality.

Update

My Bug Report got closed saying 'it works as intended'. I suppose Apple does not intend to fix it and it was mistakenly taken out without deprecation first.
