My phone allows me to independently choose Wi-Fi and Bluetooth state separately from the cellular state.
Almost every android phone. Not sure about iPhone though.
It’s the same on iOS. They’re separate toggles.
iPhones don't even turn wifi/bluetooth off when you toggle them specifically. They certainly don't disconnect in airplane mode.
The quick wifi/bluetooth buttons are to disconnect temporarily when you've got a bad connection. Or if your husband started the car but you're not in it, you're just nearby. They're not to turn the radios off.
When I turn on airplane mode it turns off everything but of course I can turn wifi on just after. But all the phones I have seen when you set in airplane mode it turns off cell wifi BT even nfc
