Yeah, if you use the Bluetooth toggle in control center, it doesn’t disable Bluetooth at all, it just temporarily disconnects all Bluetooth devices. If you go to your Bluetooth settings, it will still be enabled.

Yep, and this offensive disregard for the user's choices only impedes people from mitigating this attack. Tell Apple to PERMANENTLY respect the user's choices when turning BT and Wi-Fi on or off, no matter where they do it: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/ https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone/

    Or just don't do it because OP's reasons for leaving BT and WiFi off all the time are nonsense that haven't made sense in about a decade.

      Notably you neglected to say how. And another good reason: Despite some improvement Apple seems to have made on this issue over time, the phone will still connect to "free" Wi-Fi that has no Internet connectivity as you roam around.

    Thanks, but I'm not going to litter my home screen with workarounds for Apple's disrespect for user choices. I turn them off in Settings and that's that.

        Like I said, there's a whole page of settings for Control Center. Apple could have simply made this behavior selectable. But nope, they changed the behavior of the buttons without telling anyone. Only after people complained did they add the explanatory text.
