Is it true that enabling airplane mode on a smartphone turns off its Wi-Fi radio by default?
Unclear. One reference guide states that enabling airplane mode might not turn off all connections by default, and two travel guides imply Wi-Fi is disabled in airplane mode and must be turned on manually. None of the sources directly and fully settles whether Wi-Fi is off by default.
