If you put the phone into flight mode then turn the bluetooth off, bluetooth goes on and off as expected with the flight mode selection.
I had no idea this was happening and thought everything was shut down when I had it in flight mode!
One of the recent software updates introduced this behaviour. Now, if you turn Bluetooth off, it comes back on automatically the next day. I’m not a fan. I think WiFi follows the same logic.
