I feel like at one point, airplane mode actually did disable all this stuff. Then later on it became a bit weaker. Perhaps my memory is wrong, but I believe airplane mode used to disconnect wifi, Bluetooth, everything. Once airplanes started offering wifi services, then you became able to enable airplane mode but then also enable WiFi so you could connect to the paid service offered by airlines.

You could well be right.
This is why it's laughable that Apple are privacy-focused. I may still be a user of theirs, but whilst they give you many of the tools to limit their access, you literally have to be an anti-social tinhatter to truly be private on their hardware.

Yea I feel like appleโ€™s privacy claims are really more relative to their competition than anything else. Doesnโ€™t make it good, just maybe slightly less bad.

๐Ÿ’ฏ they are also marketing privacy to the world, which I often underappreciate.
