If this is "confusing" to people then those people are better off with dumb phones... They're absolutely unfit for using smartphones...

I'm a software developer and was confused by this the first time I enabled it. It is not consistent with the other options in the Control Center that are independent of each other. And I would not say I am unfit for a smartphone.
Lots of intelligent discussion. I think KeepCalmPeople has a good point with the conundrum from a developers point of view that I never saw. It is a tough developer consideration.
This is a good idea - return to the state you had previously. It's like making a mess as long as you clean it up and leave the room exactly as you found it
I didn't include in my first post that I have WIFI on permanently so I just saw airdrop turning bluetooth on and not back off
oh dear, someone's mother didn't make them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for their packed lunch.
I am out of words...! All I'll say is I would think at least 5 times if I have to pay for any of your apps...
this is the same as turning WIFI and Bluetooth on /off for personal hotspot
Wifi and bluetooth are still activated when you turn off personal hotspot
it's by design.

So you like apps that have inconsistent UI elements whose relationship to other elements is not made obvious? I'm sorry I pay attention to detail and that bothers you so much.
This is consistent... It is logical... What bothers me is being a developer you can't understand it... And you find it "confusing"... It's hilarious...
So clicking Airdrop on turns bluetooth and wifi on but clicking Airdrop off does neither. That is not consistent. It has already confused people posting about it on this forum. I'm glad it doesn't confuse you but it is confusing people whether you want to believe it or not. Especially when Airplane mode works just the opposite and goes back to the last state.

You should read my previous posts again... And another posters too... Where he mentions it's the same when you turn hotspot on and off...
I figure why it's so confusing for you... Because you fail to pay attention and remember things it seems...
Anyways I'm done wasting my time on you... Carry on whining...
Where was I whining? I was only stating a fact about it being confusing to some users. If you actually read what I wrote you would see I gave an explanation for why it functions as it does when you turn it off.
If YOU actually read my friend we wouldn't have had this argument in the first place... Anyways... You find it very confusing, I don't... I find the implementation perfect... Let's just let it be there...
True. However the solution is simple. Allow users to chose their own settings, then they can blame their own bad choices.
Allow users to choose their own settings and you confuse the users. This is not the Apple way. Too many choices are just as bad as not enough choices.
Bluetooth 4.0 LE hardly impacts the battery life of your device unlike previous versions. It is much closer to NFC in terms of battery drainage rather than WiFi.
