      My phone allows me to independently choose Wi-Fi and Bluetooth state separately from the cellular state.

        When I turn on airplane mode it turns off everything but of course I can turn wifi on just after. But all the phones I have seen when you set in airplane mode it turns off cell wifi BT even nfc

          iPhones don’t even turn wifi/bluetooth off when you toggle them specifically. They certainly don’t disconnect in airplane mode.

          The quick wifi/bluetooth buttons are to disconnect temporarily when you’ve got a bad connection. Or if your husband started the car but you’re not in it, you’re just nearby. They’re not to turn the radios off.

      Airplane mode is no longer about shutting down all wireless communication. It’s been for some time.

      Now it’s shutting down the cellular connection only, wifi and bluetooth stay on.
