Actually I have Bluetooth on all the time because I have an Apple Watch and also because I find it inconvenient to turn it on each time I want to use a Bluetooth headset or speaker or maybe my keyboard. It may depend a bit on what type of Bluetooth device you have connected, but for the most part Bluetooth being on should only use up a very small amount of extra power. By now my iPhone 11 which I have had for 2 years is down to 85% battery capacity, but if my phone is fully charged in the morning I still easily get through the day and I use my phone quite a bit. Maybe if I had to use a GPS app for a couple of hours each day I would have problems getting all the way to 9 or 10 PM, but I honestly couldn't care less if my battery in the evening is still at 40% or at 20% or 15% because I have a smart phone because I want its convenience features and this includes having Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on, it means having location services turned on for most apps and also to use background app refresh at least for some of the apps I use a lot. It also means that I set my two email accounts to Push which definitely takes up more battery than if I checked them only once an hour or manually, in fact it probably uses up more power than having Bluetooth on does.

Notwithstanding The brightness issue, I find as you probably also do that when Bluetooth is on, it zaps the battery like nobody's business. I wish there was a way to see Second The condition of Bluetooth on the status bar.

If you have a phone with OLED screen there might be a very small difference since apparently dark pixels use up less power, but it would be quite minimal. Of course you may as well set it to dark mode. As for screen brightness I would recommend you set it to auto and then if you want to make the most of it you can turn on screen curtain by tapping 3 times with 3 fingers. As soon as iOS detects that screen curtain is on brightness will be automatically set to 0%, but if you ever need help with the phone then as soon as you turn off screen curtain with a 3-finger triple tap the screen brightness will be at a level which should make it easy for a sighted person to see it. You can of course also turn off Voiceover which will then automatically remove the screen curtain since that is a Voiceover feature so if Voiceover is not running screen curtain is also not there to black out the screen.

Am I remembering someone on here says that it Hass to be set to dark so the battery doesn’t drain as fast and I do have it set to 0% for some reason it was on light so I had to switch it back over again too dark. And I also the phone set to lock after 30 seconds. Thanks for reading regarding this matter.
