No more apple juice? Bluetooth now allowed?
Weird combination of topics, I'll readily admit, but just coming back from a weekend trip I just have to ask in case anyone knows - on my flights on Friday and today (operated by a B738) no apple juice was available, which is most unfortunate. Is this a new trend?
What's more, I seemed to hear the purser say during the safety briefing that one should "feel free to turn on Bluetooth" - which would be a welcome change of policy. Is this new?

I'm an OJ person myself, but also noticed the explicit bluetooth mention yesterday. Maybe there was a sudden run on apple juice last week...
It did get me wondering though, other than bluetooth headset users, what other uses might one have for bluetooth on a plane?

When I put my iPhone in airplane mode, in fact, the bluetooth stays active (and I never put my apple watch on airplane mode, me bad).

I've generally left mine on during past flights as you sometimes "lose" some data if they can't sync on demand.
The bluetooth on pumps are normally low power i.e need to be less than two feet from transmitter to reciever (security related I think).
