Hi Christopher, If I turn my bluetooth on my battery drops rapidly. If it is off the battery will last at least the day if not 2 days.
Since I got my Iphone 5 and started hearing others talk about battery issues I tested different features on the phone and found that bluetooth drains the battery the fastest except for VO itself. I have no use for bluetooth so I tend to leave it off all the time so it isn't an issue for me.

From what I've read, and from my own experience, bluetooth is pretty far down the list, behind things like screen brightness, location services, cellular and wifi. This is especially true since Apple went to bluetooth 4.0 on the 4S. On 3/23/2014 5:07 PM, Dan Beaver wrote: > Before doing a phone reset you should also make sure bluetooth is turned > off.
