Suspicious... Apple guerrilla marketing maybe?...

I meant airplane mode is designed for reducing noise for captains' airdrops :P

That rule has never been about interference with instruments...

Twitter chose 140 chars because it was originally based on SMS, which had that limit. SMS may have chose 140 chars for the reason you gave.

Try encoding it as mime type: text/plane

Looks like his iPhone is still in airplane mode while doing this. So no regulations broken. Impressive!

I find it hard to believe that a. 300+ meters works, b. it's the only other iPhone on the two planes.

They just don't want heavy electronics flying about the cabin if there's an emergency during takeoff / landing. Put it away for 5 minutes!

So this is why they make you turn airplane mode on. Clearly better airdrop results.
