I feel bad for FA’s that have to enforce this regulation, because everyone knows no one turns their phone to airplane mode.
I’ve seen passengers talking on their phone as we were lining up on the runway and it just so happened the FA’s didn’t notice.
It wouldn’t make operational sense to go 1 by 1 to ensure everyone one’s phone is in the appropriate mode.

It absolutely can if you're using an ILS in low visibility. It can throw the signal off. But really that's the only time it can affect the plane so not that often.
