This Is How Apple Intends To Increase iPhone’s Battery Life In iOS 9

iOS 9, which is scheduled to be released as a public preview this month promises to offer a better battery life that is the most common concerns among power hungry smartphones.

In order to keep the smartphones thin, light and stylish, smartphone makers are compromising with the basic functionalities like a decent battery life, reports ZDNet. Keeping this in mind, Apple introduced the ‘Low Power Mode’ that is expected to run for some extra hours from a single charge.

What is Low Power Mode and how will it ensure longer battery life?

The Low Power Mode will extend the smartphone’s battery life when an iPhone’s power is running low. It reduces iPhone’s performance and cuts down on its background activity, reports as per a Mac Rumors report.

According to a report on Trusted Reviews, the Low Power Mode gets activated when the battery life drops below 20 percent and in order to save power, it closes down some features and pulls back on others. Once the tool is activated, users will have to check their mails manually, the background app refresh will get defunct, downloads will be disabled, network speeds get slowed, motion effects and brightness gets reduced, reports Trusted Reviews.

By minimizing performance and disabling features that consume more battery, Low Power Mode can hold an iPhone’s battery life by upto three hours, reports Mac Rumors. Even when the Low Power mode is not activated, other iOS 9 improvements stretches out the iPhone’s battery by an hour, as per the Mac Rumors report.

According to another report on Mac Rumors, Users can activate the Low Power Mode option by browsing through the new dedicated ‘Battery’ section available in the settings app. The publication also mentioned that battery information is also displayed in the Notification Center for both iOS devices as well as the Apple Watch.

The introduction of Low Power Mode would be a good news for most of the iPhone users who have been resenting the poor battery life offered by the device. Few years ago, Google had included a similar feature to its Android software, reports ZDNet.
