I hate that Apple forces bluetooth and wifi on each day. I wish I could just turn it off and leave it off. Though the article did mention some phones still emit a distinct signal even with the bluetooth off. This is why I am still considering jailbreaking. I have not done it in a while but every once in a while am reminded that Apple really wants to lock down this device I bought. I would like to just have my phone do what I want. If I was jailbroken I could use RealCC and turn wifi and bluetooth off permanently not just for 24 hours.
- comex 5y agoIf you turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in the Settings app (rather than Control Center) it is permanent.

- jimmont 5y agoit will come back on after toggling airplane mode, you're not silly, the design decisions in iOS are difficult to circumvent;
- manwe150 5y agoIt isn’t silly at all, if you consider most people don’t care about the internal state of some radio, but are opening the quick toggle menu for the purpose of connecting/disconnecting to specific networks. It is more mentally consistent if you realize they swapped the on/off button in the quick access menu for a more useful button: the network selector (long press to access it). Both functions are still present in the full settings as always.

- walterbell 5y agoBoth Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are re-enabled by Apple after every iOS security/software update, even when they were already turned off in Settings. They need to be manually re-disabled after each iOS update.
