On iPhone the airplane toggle is the cellular toggle. It leaves all your other radios active.
It also disables GPS but only because that doesn’t work anyway in a fast moving faraday cage without cell tower triangulation.
If you want to disable wifi or bluetooth, those are separate toggles… and by default they just disconnect from your current wifi network and some of your bluetooth devices (your smart watch for example, will stay connected over bluetooth). The buttons are there to use if your wifi or bluetooth aren’t working properly, which can always be fixed by just disconnecting rather than disabling the radio entirely.
Yes but the cellular toggle is for mobile data only. Turning it off won’t stop your phone from trying to connect to a network when there isn’t any (which drains the battery unnecessarily). Airplane mode turns off the antenna completely. The person I was replying to appears to say there is a button to do the latter without using airplane mode.
There’s a separate cellular toggle yes.

Airplane mode is one button. Cellular is another button.
Just pull up your control center and you should see.
