MOSTLY MYTH: modern Bluetooth Low Energy uses very little power when idle; the screen and mobile signal use far more.

// LESSON NOTES

"Turn off Bluetooth to save battery!" — true or not? 🔵🔋

📉 Old Bluetooth was hungry.
💧 Today's Bluetooth Low Energy sips power: when idle it sleeps and only wakes for tiny blinks.
📱 Your screen uses many times more power than idle Bluetooth.
✅ Verdict: MOSTLY MYTH. (Streaming music to earbuds uses a little more — still small.)
📶 The real battery killer? A weak mobile signal — the phone has to "shout" louder to reach the tower.
