Understanding iOS 9's Low Power Mode: It's a big price to pay

iOS 9 brings many exciting changes, including "Low Power Mode". Apple said that devices with iOS 9 can provide you with an extra hour of battery life compared to before, and if you want more battery life, Low Power Mode can provide an additional 3 hours of battery life.

Everything has its pros and cons, and as you can see from the screenshots below, saving power comes at a price. When low power mode is turned on, emails won't update automatically, app auto-refresh and downloads are disabled, network speeds may be affected, and animations and brightness are reduced.

The method to enable "Low Power Mode" is relatively simple. Just enter the battery usage interface in the settings and turn on the low power mode switch. After turning it on, the battery indicator icon on the status bar will turn yellow.
