> 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

Which researcher? Love to read some decent white papers on privacy-related issues
