How to Disable an Apple Mobile Device
Whether you're traveling or simply at a public event, temporarily disabling your phone is important to prevent interruptions and also to comply with airline regulations. To disable your Apple iPhone, you have the option of simply powering it off or setting the device to "Airplane" mode. In Airplane mode, all wireless features--including calls, text messages and the Internet--are disabled and can easily be restored by turning off the setting.
