When you leave home, do you turn off the Wifi to make the battery last longer? Because if I don't, it's constantly searching for a signal, which probably drains the battery faster. Also, at home, it seems that running the cell and the WiFi radios would drain the battery faster VS. WiFi Calling only.
Got a tip for us?

I get ridiculous screen time on my pro max. I don’t think I could drain it even if I really tried. I use 6 to 8 hours screen on time a day and I’ve never been below 50%battery.
I don’t feel the need to turn anything off.

I think putting it in low power mode is better than trying to manually manage settings.
If I turned off the WIFI everytime I left the house, I would go crazy.
In the WIFI settings for the phone, I do turn off both ask to join networks and auto-join hotspot. Again, I don't like pop-up noise on my phone and I don't need the phone evaluating every WIFI network.

No I stopped worrying about WiFi when I’m mobile. Never switch it off.
I don't do it manually. I use a shortcut. One for Away and one for Home.
I think that the point can also be made that while it is not necessary to disable wi-fi when away from home, there is no harm in doing so. it also makes your phone less 'discoverable' if you have such concerns, beyond what may be a minor benefit to battery life.
I have a shortcut to set low power mode on my phone but have not used it for my new 13 Pro Max since the battery life is so good. I did use it for my XS Max.
Being aware of how your phone is set up and whether or not it is 'broadcasting' while you are out in the world is not such a bad thing, even though most of us don't worry about that.

I charge whenever it needs charged. Always to 100%, I do not micro manage the battery in that way.
Nope the battery in my 13 is more than enough to get me through the day. Only time I top up is on my commute as I plug in for CarPlay.
Nope, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on. Honestly I doubt you will save much with them off as they are low power now a days.
