Is it a good idea to leave Wi-Fi & Mobile data on, or switch between manually?

Hi, I live in an area where mobile data is significantly faster than my home's Wi-Fi, but, during most weekdays, I'm at the office where the Wi-Fi is faster. Typically, I leave Mobile data on all of the time and rarely use Wi-Fi due to speeds and the fact I have 5G coverage.


My question, is that we know Mobile data drains battery much more than Wi-Fi, but I've noticed that if I leave both on, the phone will automatically switch to Mobile data when there's no Wi-Fi, but does leaving both on technically equate to even more battery drain than just manually switching between them and turning each other off?

iPhone X, iOS 15
