   That's not quite the full story.   
      
   On a "stock" version of Android (such a google Pixel) the first time you   
   turn on airplane mode, it does indeed turn off all radios.   
      
   However, if you manually turn back on bluetooth and wifi radios, the   
   phone remembers this, and subsequently when you turn on airplane mode it   
   only turns off the cellular radio (and pops up reminder that this is the   
   case).
