Hey, I just figured out I can rock Airplane mode and still hook up to WiFi. I was checking out this article on macrumors with hacks to save battery.

So, is it cool to roll with my 15 Pro Max in airplane mode but cruising on WiFi at home or the office? Will that help keep the juice flowing throughout the day?

I'm scarred from my 14 Pro Max – had it at 89% after 11 months. This time, I'm all about playing it safe. My 13 Pro Max was still rocking 96% after a year...

Just so you know, I switch up iPhones every year, and it definitely helps them sell faster when the battery isn't tanked after 12 months.
 
I think you save a bit on battery. Both my 6 Plus and my iPhone 5 are on Airplane mode and WiFi all the time as they do not have SIM cards.
 
Airplane Mode disables cellular data. If a phone is connected to Wi-Fi, it’s not using cellular data — so I don’t think it’ll make a difference
