I wish they’d also fix the problem of Apple Pencil draining when in bag with the iPad - it seems to think it’s being used and is trying to transmit to the iPad. I’ve been turning off Bluetooth to deal with this stupidity, now I have to turn on airplane mode to actually turn it off properly.

Not a proper fix, but a workaround is to turn off Bluetooth then immediately turn it back on. This disconnects the Apple Pencil, which allows it to keep its charge (for weeks in my experience). With the new iOS update it sounds like you'll need to turn airplane mode on then off instead, which is a bit more annoying (but better than leaving airplane mode on the whole time).
