I’m not sure that’s true at all. With WiFi on and connected, it uses WiFi calling which uses way less power than LTE. WiFi uses next to no power when it’s not passing data. The power saving extensions to it are pretty good, and coalesce traffic right down.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoIf I have Wi-Fi available, it almost always means I'm home and I don't care how much power it's using. If I'm not home, I'm not on Wi-Fi and I want to conserve battery power. So there's no need to ever have Wi-Fi activated on my phone, unless I'm doing a software update. I'm sure there have been efficiency improvements over the years, but it's still needless power consumption. Also Wi-Fi calling appears to be off by default. Thanks for bringing it up, though. I might try it next time I'm in another country; if you switch SIMs on an iPhone, it loses all association between people's phone numbers and their entries in your contacts. Yes... the iPhone can't handle travel, 16 years in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." Then why was the Reply button enabled, and why does this rudeness persist year after year?
- bdavbdav 3y agoIf you’ve got solid WiFi at home, it’s worth having it on even when home. It’s generally better than the cell. (Especially if you’ve got FTTP)
