It shall be noted that WiFi and Bluetooth are handled by the same chip on the PinePhone (and also on the PinePhone Pro, though it is a different chip than on the original PinePhone), which is why there is only one hardware kill switch for both. So if you turn off only WiFi or Bluetooth in software, the chip will by design still be operating to handle the other one. Only turning both off can possibly power down the chip altogether, though I do not know whether that is the case, and as @KC9UDX has pointed out, you should not take my word for it either way anyway.
