Do you have any idea how little power consumption of wifi and bluetooth matter on a device like Switch with a giant screen and big battery? Apparently not.

Im happy to be educated, do you have any tech info on this?

Just from simple observation being an owner of a iPhone and iPad, when bluetooth is turned on I notice a significant drop in battery life even when it's not actively engaged 

I'm starting to think that the fact that, unlike an XBox1, PS4, or PC, the Switch needs to be mindful of battery life hence the need for a smartphone when it comes to voice chat...
