But, it's only one extra motion to force click settings, select wifi and toggle wifi off vs swipe up to control panel and click the wifi.

I like the new wifi toggle because iPhones are AP sticky usually.

Except if you have the SE there is no force-touch and you are still forced into the main settings menu. I turn off the WiFi when driving or doing outdoors stuff because I don't want the battery to drain searching for a network for 6 hours...
I don't think you need force touch. From what I've seen people do, you can just long press and it'll be the same as force touching the item.
You can long press and get a more detailed menu, but the button there still doesn't turn off the wifi...
No dice.There's no long-press on that button for me.
I was not aware that wifi on the SE was that battery inefficient.
Perhaps it is not, but I'm thinking about using this same phone and battery for at least couple more years (had it over a year now) so I like to conserve power where I can.
Battery replacements are cheap
