BlueTooth and Battery

[scottcampbell]

Hello,
I am close to buying AirPods, but I have a reservation.
Up until now, I only turn BT on while I am driving. I don't need it the rest of the day.
With AirPods, I'm sure BT would stay on permanently. How much does this affect battery?
(My iPhone is 6s.)

Very little. I've never turned mine off and never noticed a difference. Enjoy...

Bluetooth is low energy bluetooth on the iPhones isnt it? I had it switched off a while back as i had no need for it, since getting my car 3 years ago that had Bluetooth on it i have left Bluetooth on rather than messing about switching it on and off and noticed no difference to the battery life. I now have it on permanently so that it connects to the car, my Fitbit Charge 2 and bluetooth earphones when i need them to and its fine. Not worth the hassle of turning it on and off in my opinion.
