This report describes the results of a brief investigation as to whether enabling airplane mode on a mobile phone disables all cellular transmissions. In summary, we found no evidence of cellular transmissions when airplane mode is on. The mobile handsets studied were a Pixel 8 (running GrapheneOS/Android 15), iPhone 15 (iOS 17.1.1), Samsung A23 (Android 13) and a Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 (Android 11).

This researcher has several good papers. Good to see evidence that airplane mode works because I’ve seen some people doubting it
