In iOS 11, toggling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 'off' doesn’t work. Here’s why.

Apple users have unwittingly discovered a new feature after installing iOS 11 on their mobile devices: when you toggle your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth quick settings to “off” those services remain on for Apple services.
For example, Location Services is still enabled, and Handoff and Instant Hotspot stay on, even when iPhones and iPads are put in “Airplane Mode.”
The change in iOS 11 has come under criticism because it could expose users to security risks.
Because iOS 10 allowed users to perform a quick swipe in the Control Center to toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth fully off, users reasonably believe they had the same capability in iOS 11.

Microsoft today will deliver the final security update for Windows 10’s first feature upgrade, the version released in November 2015.
Windows 10 1511 — Microsoft labels its feature upgrades in a yymm format — will receive its last security patches, then fall off Microsoft’s support list. The company had announced 1511’s retirement several times in the past, notably in a support lifecycle fact sheet on Microsoft’s website.
Today is also October’s “Patch Tuesday,” the month’s release of security updates for Microsoft’s products. The company has tied the end of support for Windows 10’s feature upgrades to Patch Tuesdays. The next in line after 1511, last year’s 1607 — aka “Anniversary Update” — has been tentatively scheduled to drop out of support in March 2018. If true, Microsoft will undoubtedly call it quits on March 13, 2018, another Patch Tuesday.
