Simply install this free app on another iOS device, open it, and sign in with your Apple ID.

If you misplace your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, the Find My iPhone app will let you use another iOS device to find it and protect your data.
But actually using your iPhone for an extended time while Low Power Mode is enabled just doesn’t seem like a good idea after looking at these benchmarks.The Find My iPhone app has been updated with a new Lost Mode, Battery Charge Indicator, and Forever Login. Low Power Mode is great for those times when you need to make your phone last when it’s on its last leg of battery.
That’s where Low Power Mode has the upper hand over all other battery saving strategies. Maybe it would be different if Apple placed a toggle in Control Center to quickly enable and disable Low Power Mode, but I just don’t know why anyone would want to gimp their brand new powerful iPhone 6s for an extended amount of time.Įarlier today I posted several ways to save battery life on the iPhone 6s, but none of those methods will be able to compete with throttling the processor by 50%. It’s one thing to use Low Power Mode at times when you’re low on battery, but it’s a whole another thing to walk around with what is essentially an enhanced iPhone 5s in your pocket all day long. It’s basically taking your iPhone 6s back two generations to iPhone 5s territory: With this in mind, it’s no wonder why Low Power Mode can save so much battery life. The Low Power Mode switch is thus a powerful throttle, probably more powerful than most thought. That’s a 50.9% difference in clock speed. What started out as a 1.85 Ghz Processor got down-clocked to 907 Mhz. Just look at that Processor speed difference. We’ve seen before and after benchmarks with older iPhones involving Low Power Mode, but what about Apple’s just-released iPhone 6s? How much of an impact does Low Power Mode have on it?Īpple doesn’t actually list the percentage difference on its Low Power Mode support document, but a simple benchmark comparison paints a clear picture: Low Power Mode throttles your iPhone 6s processor significantly.īefore Low Power Mode vs After Low Power Mode What’s more, Low Power Mode significantly reduces the clock speed of your iOS device. Low Power Mode allows iPhone users running iOS 9 to eke out more battery life when the battery is getting low. It doesn’t just pull this ability out of thin air, it causes iOS to turn off certain features like mail fetch, background app refresh, automatic downloads, etc.
