Airplane mode disables cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity on electronic devices. While this restricts access to services requiring an internet connection, a number of applications retain functionality. For instance, pre-downloaded music streaming apps or e-readers with downloaded books can still be used.
The primary benefit of using applications in this setting is the conservation of battery power. By preventing the device from constantly searching for and maintaining network connections, battery life is significantly extended. Originally conceived to prevent interference with aircraft navigation systems, its current implementation offers a practical way to minimize distractions and maximize device usability during travel or in areas with limited connectivity.
