It gets worse: if you turn off wifi/bluetooth in control center, it only disconnects, keeping the radio active.

As it says on the page, this is to make sure a bunch of things still work (eg. you wouldn't really thing you need to keep Bluetooth enabled to use the pencil). Maybe the toast text "disconnecting nearby Wi-Fi until tomorrow" could be a little clearer.

From day one I’ve wanted a way to disable the automatic-reenabling feature.

Use airplane mode then enable each one individually?

You can use shortcuts to disable and enable things.

I use one labled ‘Car’ that turns off wifi, enables cellular data and BLT for the stereo and terminates after it ensures my (non-DNS) VPN is on. The other, ‘Home’ turns off cellular data and BLT, wifi on and again ensures my VPN is still active.

Also if you’ve got anything newer than a iPhone 6, you can 3D touch the settings icon to a pop-up menu to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Cellular Data and the Battery sub-menus. From there it’s an extra tap or two to disable stuff completely.

Formatting is likely terrible, I mobile-phoned this in..
