Turning ON Airplane Mode Now Doesn’t Turn OFF Bluetooth – iOS 11

You may need to turn Bluetooth off separately nowadays and going forward.

Ever since Apple is releasing iOS 11 to the beta testers and eventually to public, it was indeed Apple intention to make both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on all the times. While they may not necessarily connect to WiFi router or other Bluetooth devices, but Apple need them turned on for other different purposes, some of them I may even not knowing it yet. But few most obvious ones are to still connect to Apple Watch (Bluetooth and WiFi), to get better positioning on GPS and Maps, plus to able locate your iPhone and iOS devices should they lost (Wi-Fi).

There are times when you want to completely turned off both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth – like when you want to board the airplane or when you don’t bring/wear/use any Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connected devices with you and you want to save battery or when you want to charge faster by turning off unnecessary things that eating the battery, while previously it can be done simply by turning ON the airplane mode, no you can’t do that anymore.
