Do you leave your iPad on all the time?

I leave mine on all the time but put it on airplane when not using. If i knew i wasn't going to use it for a couple of days i would probably power down.

To answer your query: if I'm not using the WiFi why should I let that drain my iPP's battery? Makes sense to shut that and bluetooth off when I am not using it (like now.)

I leave mine on but turn off the wifi when not actively using it.

...so you've both noticed that turning off the wifi and bluetooth do increase the battery life then?

For me, yes. Shutting off WiFi and bluetooth off when I am not using the pencil means better battery life.

Yes for me I have noticed a small difference it battery life shutting those two things down. Also I don't want to be tempted to pick it up if I can't sleep. I just watch tv instead. I know it makes no sense but hey it works for me.

I turn my iPad Pro and my iPhone off every night. However, I don't charge them every night

I have an iPad Pro at work that I haven’t used all week. With Bluetooth and WiFi enabled, it was at 94% when I opened it today. Not too worried about battery drain.

It's a no brainer I turn my iPad mini 2 off it keeps the battery from draining when your not on it. I don't know why anyone would leave it on 24/7.

Pretty certain we’ve seen overwhelming anecdotal evidence in this thread as to why one would. Did you bother reading it?

 

[Atomic1977]

Yes I did read it but still it doesn't seem like a good idea to me to leave it on all the time. At least 2 me.

That’s how they are engineered. There are no moving internals which are suspended when not in use. Also, Apple never says in any documentation to power off.
