Wow - coming thick and fast now. I sleep with my phone next to me so I can see the time and to set an alarm if needed. I don't like having any of the radios transmitting or receiving while I sleep. These helpful suggestions appear to be missing the point. I don't actually care if you think I should use Do Not Disturb instead of Airplane mode. I am uncomfortable with the direction Apple have taken in removing functionality and choice in this area. No-one has explained why Apple have made this change and no-one has suggested an advantage.
Since you haven't seen it in the hundreds of posts explaining it or Apple's tech note on it (Use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in Control Center with iOS 11 - Apple Support), I will. The Control Center buttons were repurposed to disconnect from the current network, but leave Wi-Fi on. This has several benefits:
- If doesn't prevent you from turning off Wi-Fi if you really want to
- Wi-Fi greatly improves the accuracy of location services
- If a different network appears it will still connect to it
- There's no chance of forgetting Wi-Fi is off, so you won't inadvertently leave it off and run up a large cellular data bill
- There is really no reason to ever turn Wi-Fi off, except to disconnect from the current network.
I use it for that last one very frequently, and I've found this new way of managing Wi-Fi to be very useful. And I never turn off Wi-Fi for any other reason.
As there were 4 ways to turn off Wi-Fi previously, this was a good use of the button on the Control Center, as it leaves 3 other ways to turn off Wi-Fi. If you use any of them Wi-Fi will turn off and stay off. Yes, it really will. I've seen a few claims that it doesn't, but I have not been able to reproduce it on any of my 3 iOS devices, so either people are mistaken or their phones are very broken.
Previously I could choose to turn off WiFi and it would stay off until I chose to switch it back on. That is no longer the case.
WRONG. If you turn off Wi-Fi it stays off. I've tried it with 3 iOS devices, and if I turn off Wi-Fi in Settings it stays off. Dead off. I left it off for a week once, just to make sure. It was still off a week later, when I turned it back on. I have also done a test where I turned Wi-Fi off, then turned on Airplane mode. When I turned off Airplane mode Wi-Fi was still off.
A customized setting would be helpful.
What kind of car do you have?
I drive a 2016 Mercedes and I'm pretty darn tootin confident no one will win it from me! LOL
If you're truly worried about radiation, you should turn off cellular data. In fact, you can do all that you want from the Control Center - simply turn on "Airplane Mode." Zero radiation!
Your assumptions are as foolish as your assertions. **** off.

He wasn't stating assumptions. He was stating FACTS.
No he made assumptions about me, and stated "facts" that are incorrect.
What a useless discussion this has become.
Like I said. Seems to me this should be a customizable option as to how you want the control center buttons to function.

Please post back after you learn something aboutluetooth.
All of the 'millions' of people are coming over to disagree with you as soon as they can find a route.
Sounds like fun. Party at Philly's house!!
They're going to have to radiate themselves to do so.
I have a small house. Millions can't fit here but that's not really a problem. I figure on only two or three.
That feature wont be available until IOS13 is released, the bus will have to suffice for now.
