I’ve been trying to find reliable information about how much active scanning for devices really affects modern iOS devices. Especially if you are connected and communicate with a BLE device at the same time.
I can’t seem to find any good information about the scenario of scanning while being connected and in general any updated information about the battery usage of Bluetooth scanning.
We are making an app that would really benift from scanning all the time, however we are concerned about the battery usage or other side-effects. But since iOS seem to always scan for devices to some extend, maybe it’s not a valid worry anymore?
Does anyone have experience with this, or is able to point me to some documentation that explains this better?
