Comment on The Paradox of Blackmarket Wired Bluetooth Apple headphones.

Your comment missed the mark entirely. Please don’t reply-guy me; I know what I’m talking about.

Not sure why you’re saying that. I wasn’t disagreeing with any of your points, but adding to them another angle that answered the parent comment’s concerns about whether leaving wifi on for airplane mode drains battery. You addressed the cellular radio side, and I was adding a separate point about the WiFi radio that complements what you were saying.
