No degraded performance in my experience, at least not visibly. Only drawback is...

About how much more consumption?

ekianjo · on Jan 30, 2020

I am not on an iphone but I would say 10 to 15 percent more.

On an iPhone you will not notice the difference, it's negligible

It does shows around 15% battery usage in settings if wireguard is always on for my iPhone 11

I dont think you can express Wireguard's battery usage by that %.

Imagine these 2 use cases:

#1. You do not use/touch your iPhone for 24 hours. Wireguard will now show 40% of the total battery that was used.

#2. You play the game Tetris for 24 hours. Wireguard will now show less than 1% of the total battery that was used. Because Tetris used the other 99,9%.
