Is there an actual bug here? It's much nicer than before in my opinion. It actually remembers whether your Bluetooth radio was On or Off when last in Airplane Mode and that's a new feature of iOS 11 as far as I'm aware. I frequently go in and out of Airplane Mode without dropping Bluetooth. What's the bug?

Right??? I was very confused how this was considered a bug considering every other device in the world works this way.
But how are you going to listen to music on your wireless Airpods during the long flight, given that you showed courage in abandoning your audio cables? Delightful.

You hit the airplane mode button, and then hit the Bluetooth button to re-enable Bluetooth but not other radios.
And then the airplane crashes. (Or so I'm told.)

Only if you also use the calculator.

BT is allowed on flights.
wait, isn't that expected behavior anyway? You're getting on an airplane and turning off all the radios; bluetooth operates via a radio.
