Low power mode vs regular on 8 plus?

[tripleh3lix]

Anyone do a test to see how it affects day to day usage between the two? I’m wondering if it’s any better than the 7 plus. I can’t seem to find any big tests around for the comparisons between the two for the 8 plus.

It seemed to be about the same for me between both modes, maybe 20-30 minutes more in low power mode. Anyone else having significant battery savings in LPM?

It can depend on what you normally have enabled. If you normally have everything enabled then LPM can potentially show better savings, but if you disable or turn down a lot of things normally as it is, then LPM might not come of as saving too much in comparison.

I pretty much have most notifications other than Instagram, messenger and message/calls/timer/main iOS stuff disabled. Have background app refresh off, screen brightness is usually about 25-30 percent, location services and all that diagnostic stuff is usually off as well. I also turn Bluetooth and any other functions off as well. As well as raise to wake.

Only things I have on a daily basis are “hey Siri” and Find My iPhone. So it’s still not really worth it to keep low power mode on at this point ?

Do you have Hey Siri on for a specific reason? If the answer is no, you don’t use it, then it probably wouldn’t hurt to stay in Low Power Mode.

I do use it a lot while I’m driving, working, or getting ready for work and replying to texts. But it’s not THAT important.

If you deem having it off as not a huge inconvenience, then, as I said before, it couldn’t possibly hurt to try enabling Low Power Mode for a day or two to see what kind of results it nets you.

Thank you will do!

If I say get a new phone, will turning off automatic app downloads not sync my apps back in place? Or is it something different ?

From an iCloud backup, apps will automatically restore.

As far as I understand, automatically downloading apps only applies to new apps purchased on other iOS devices.
