There is no label, it just looks like a cellular icon. When you press it it turns grey, indicating off like this: https://i.redd.it/76b0j4im36f41.jpg https://i.redd.it/76b0j4im36f41.jpg

Press and hold on that, and it'll expand to show the labels and two more buttons: https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/iOS/ios13-iphone-xs-control-center-bluetooth-animation.gif https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare...

  Great, thanks. So I guess pressing the clearly designed cellular icon does not turn off cellular and the real action is hidden in a popup. Very intuitive! /s Glad I wasn't doing it for a more serious reason (in which case I would have just left the phone at home, but still..). edit: comment chain got too deep to reply to. But I think the fact that I failed to see a difference is clear evidence that the airplane mode icon is NOT an adequate indicator. Airplane mode means turn off all wireless, everyone knows that much. But that isn't what I wanted, I still wanted bluetooth with nothing else and as such turned off the unwanted radios individually. Airplane mode intuitively to me means just a quicker/easier way to toggle them in one swoop, not a completely different action that you can't accomplish with the individual buttons.

    For most people, turning off all cellular functionality is a relatively uncommon action, and very strongly associated with the airplane mode icon. The presence of that airplane mode button serves as an adequate indicator that the cellular icon has a different function.
