I just tested this on my iPhone, and kibwen’s claim is false. The wifi remained disabled after a reboot.

And I just tested it on my phone, and my claim is true. iPhone 15, latest OS version. Happens every single time.

This would be strange behaviour in countries where mobile data is unmetered and people primarily use their phone as their wifi.

Verified my wife’s phone behaves identically to mine. WiFi turned off via settings stays off after a reboot.

Are you able to leave it off for a few days and see if it magically turns back on without you touching it?

No, I don't have a spare phone.
