I’ve always liked Apple’s implementation because the slider has a temporal state.

Airplane mode used to take a a couple seconds to enable so the toggle felt “stickier” to toggle. When you tapped on the toggle, the round button elongated and stayed in the middle for a split second before hitting the right side boundary of the toggle.

That seems to no longer be the case. Toggling Bluetooth on iOS 16.2 on an iPhone 14 Pro replaces the slider with a spinner, and it even flickers when turned back on.

Also, the sliding only works correctly if you press and hold and then start sliding. If you swipe, it toggles regardless of which direction you swipe.
