    No, in fact airplane mode often keeps Bluetooth and WiFi powered up until manually disabled, depending on the phone model, sometimes other radios as well. It also keeps GPS on so the phone can still track where it goes while in airplane mode.

      I’ve never had a phone that keeps Bluetooth or Wi-Fi on when enabling airplane mode, but sure, if yours does that then of course also disable them separately.

      Airplane mode is supposed to stop any radio transmission from your device. GPS does not transmit anything, so there is no reason to disable it.

          Yes, what’s your point? Airplane mode turns off the cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. You can then turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth back on if you choose to, which only leaves the cellular network disabled.
