That’s what airplane mode is. Try it out in the control center. It doesn't disable my WiFi unless I had WiFi disabled when I last turned airplane mode off. It doesn’t disable my Bluetooth at all; in fact turning airplane off turns my Bluetooth on even if I had it off before.

Of course, an OS update or a reboot might reset the value of the previous WiFi state. 🤷‍♂️
