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?

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?

Why would it? Could you give more explanation as to what aspects of the test you think might affect a flight?

More than likely the biggest disruption would be the sound across the cabin of airplanes on and near the ground for those who didn’t follow cabin crew instructions. Pilots are trained to still fly the airplane when actual aircraft alarms are blaring.
