Try this: slowly apply pressure to any app on the home screen that supports 3D Touch shortcuts. The bubble for the shortcuts slowly expands out of the app icons based on the pressure you're using.
My point is that the user should never have to worry about what options consume power. If they want to use Night Shift and Low Power Mode at the same time, they should be able to. Users shouldn't be forced to choose between features and battery life.
So if using Night Shift makes Low Power Mode fairly ineffective and basically people don't see the battery savings from it that they would expect or need, that would be OK to mislead them that both Night Shift and Low Power Mode are on but they are just not getting much from Low Power Mode?
I see your point. Here's how I think it should work. When low power mode is enabled, Night Shift will not automatically begin. If the user chooses to enable it, however, it should be allowed to happen in low power mode (User consciously chooses to enable power hungry features without disabling other power conserving adjustments).
And I understand what you are trying to get at, but with that in play it seems that users would be misleadingly believing they are getting meaningful benefits of Low Power Mode when they very well might not be under those circumstances, and that doesn't seem like a good thing either.
Likely not a feature as much as a glitch/oversight somewhere.
In settings, how many hours of usage are you getting, because my 6S is getting really bad battery life on 9.2.1
I think there will always be some benefit.
Well, I guess there's likely a range as to what's defined as effective battery savings for Low Power Mode to be called that based on Apple's design of it. With something enabled or set to certain settings that effectiveness might be below that standard and thus Low Power Mode doesn't apply. So perhaps regular usage and Low Power Mode and Night Shift is just slightly above average battery life, but not quite up there even at good battery life, and thus doesn't quite cut it.
Its still saving some battery. And again: Low Power Mode shouldn't interfere with user facing features.
It already does change user facing issues from the beginning, so that's not exactly new or something that hasn't been part of it before somehow. And I understand it's saving some battery, but it seems like likely not enough for that to qualify as Low Power Mode. It sounds like what you'd like is basically some sort of Variable Power Mode that you can configure how much it saves based on different pieces--nothing really wrong with that idea, it's just that it's not what Low Power Mode is, and that kind of level of customizability is historically not really something that Apple offers (that's not to say that's good, but just that's more or less how it's often been and is with iOS).
Low Power Mode is something that belongs on Android phones: it shouldn’t even be a part of iOS. Ideally, the end user should never have to worry about power management, should never have to choose between features, and should never get a subpar experience for the sake of longer battery life. If there are behind-the-scenes adjustments that can be made to improve battery, they should be baked into the OS. Otherwise, poor battery life is the fault of poor design choices.
And that is why it's made simpler where it's on or off, and not something where different aspects of it can/should be chosen to different degrees. As for battery life, it's not about making poor battery life better, it's about getting more out of battery life when it might be needed/desired at the cost of some more power hungry and at the same time generally less critical/important features (and for those that find those features more critical/important then the trade-off is that Low Power Mode isn't something they would use, just like they didn't have the option to do so for years and years until just recently in iOS 9).
no I'm not running the beta on the Mac, I did once an is not an experience to repeat. Yes I think is due to the fact that the iOS devices are sync with itunes but not with iBooks for mac or something like that. I have tried to open a epub file from the storage on the cloud and it sync with ibooks in icloud so let's see on the final release.
Ehm plece explain that, if nightshift uses significant amount if power, and your battery is roning low, youhave to choices iirc
Unfortunately it won't guard them from complaints as people will ignore the warning or not care about it and then complain that Low Power Mode really didn't do anything for them and that it's basically a useless feature.
Then Low Power Mode might as well lock the brightness to it lowest setting and keep the phone in Airplane Mode. The current implantation creates needless complexity:
Pretty much the same thing has existed from the beginning of Night Shift when it comes to using Push for email or having the screen lock in more than 30 seconds. Again, nothing really new or inconsistent with Low Power Mode.
That would be a better solution, yes.
If the phone had a larger battery, Low Power Mode would be used less frequently or might not have even been implemented.
It's not that much about battery size, since even with a large battery someone could still be in a situation where they are low on battery and would like to get more out of it for more important functions (or even when they aren't low and would like to get even more out of it than they normally would, even if normally they would still get a lot).
