I was wondering about this. My 11th gen PW is still on 5.18.4 and airplane mode and is not jailbroken. But it's due to have wifi turned back on soon for some KU books I'm ready to swap out.

On the other hand, I still have a K5NT and an Oasis 3 (which so far only goes up to 5.18.2) so I have options.
