How many of you out there think not having the Bluetooth icon (top right) is dumb?
I only need Bluetooth when driving (Ford Sync 911 calling and phone connect), otherwise I turn it off to save power.
Without the icon I have no reminder it is on. If I forget to turn it off, it's sucking power when I don't need it.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 12

That's completely irrelevant.

That's pointless. Bluetooth uses virtually no power when not actively connected to a bluetooth device.
Sorry, you are correct. Found Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Battery Drain and other considerations which enplanes myths about power.
Thanks for your reply.
You're welcome.
