I have the iPhone 13 Pro Max since launch but I had a grandfather plan that only allows me to access LTE but I changed my plan this week and I'll receive my new enabled 5G SIM card soon and have a couple of questions about 5G settings,

Will 5G drain more battery when on standby or when I'm at home on my Wi-Fi network? In other words, is the 5G connection still affect battery when connected to Wi-Fi and/or when on standby? Also I imagine its better to leave it on "5G auto"? Honestly, current LTE is still fast for me so, I'm wondering if I'll just leave it on LTE only or set it to 5G if the performance worth it without too much loss on battery.

Thanks!
