Strangely Brown wrote:Seriously? The amount of battery used by an inactive bluetooth facility is so insignificant when compared to powering the screen and 3G/4G data use that you are chasing false economies. Add in the *massive* benefit that as soon as you get in the car and it connects to the head-unit you'll be prevented from messing with texts [your description] then surely it is a no brainer. Turn it on and leave it on.

I am assuming that your iphone is a slightly older model? my iphone 7 had much better battery life than the 6 I had - the iphone 8 I have now, is better still - I have no issue leaving bluetooth on and still having c. 75% battery by evening - and that is with emails / social media / whatsapp / etc. all pinging onto it all day long...
there is a noticeable issue with older iphones that the batteries do degrade and it is not unknown for them to eventually come down to a couple of hours of power only...
iOS security details here: https://www.apple.com/business/docs/iOS ... _Guide.pdf
latest iOS is security level 4 - there really is no security issue as long as you leave bluetooth as not discoverable anyway...
so, get that battery can be affected, but security is not an issue (and I have worked in IT for 30+ years!)
