"Never" is always an option from my experience. I have never seen an app that doesn't allow to completely deny location access.

That's because Apple explicitly tests for that during app review, and will reject apps which crash or refuse to work if they're denied access to Location Services or other APIs (photos, contacts, microphone, etc).

    So this is a non-issue. But technically, even if an app slips through the cracks and only allows "Always" and "While using the app" as options, you can force-quit the app without pressing either of the buttons on the modal and then deleting the app, thus not giving it any location information.

      It can't. The permissions UI is rendered by the OS, not by the application. There's no way to hide the option to deny permissions.
