Shoot, I didnt realize that quote was attibuted to Rahm. I fucking hate that guy.

Also - its really disturbing that a few years ago, Apple created an update where you cant turn off wifi or bluetooth - you can now only "pause it"

But there has not been a look into proving that it is actually OFF when your little soft icon is grey...

You can still turn it off by heading to settings and turning it off there (both WiFi and Bluetooth).

It turns the functionality off completely, and stays off until you manually turn it back on.

In control centre it only partially turns off. But that’s not unreasonable as many people don’t understand how many feature rely on Bluetooth. They would probably get annoyed when the stop working, just because they wanted to quickly disconnect some headphones.

I understand that, but I still dont trust it.

I want an app that tells me EVERYTHING that my phones radios are doing. ALL of them, and ALL the data.

That’s tricky without building a phone yourself from opensource hardware and software.

At least with Apple, they’re under so much scrutiny you can be fairly confident that if their software was lying it would quickly appear in the news.

Finally the above clearly shows that your assertion you can’t turn off the WiFi or Bluetooth radios is false (assuming the software isn’t outright lying, if think that then you should have said so in your first comment).

Something like Disklabs' Faraday Bag ought to solve that problem.
