eli5: If passengers are required to put their phones on airplane mode when flying, how, if at all, will the upcoming EAS system effect flights?

Question

To explain further, I have found mixed answers as to whether or not phones in airplane mode or that are shut off will receive the upcoming EAS. If they will receive it, will that impact the flight at all?

Phones are illegal because you wouldnt be able to stand people talking BS next to you for 13 hours straight. It has NOTHING to do with security or interference or something.
