[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1773188, member: 234411"] Yesterday, I received and read that OSXDaily article and wondered about the effect of activating [I]Airplane Mode[/I] (AM) in the 'new' iOS 11.x 'Control Panel' - I've already turned off BT & Wi-Fi in the Panel and the services remained ON in Settings, as already discussed. BUT, then I turned on AM in the panel and both Wi-Fi & BT went off (see first pic); however, going to Settings showed that both services were still ON (see second pic) - assume this is a nice feature if one wants to disconnect from a network and/or a BT device, but still receive notifications, mail, etc. over Wi-Fi. However, when on an airplane and asked to put devices in [I]Airplane Mode[/I], my thinking is that one needs to go into Settings and disabled the Wi-Fi & BT services there (P.S. iPad has iOS 11.0.2 installed) - comments? Dave :) . [ATTACH=FULL]27235[/ATTACH][ATTACH=FULL]27236[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
