iPhone 14/Plus Using low power mode all the time

[janeauburn]

Anyone experimented with using low power mode all the time? I'm not seeing much if any degradation of performance. Your experience?

Low power mode is always activated on my iPhone 13. Like you, I do not see any noticeable degradation in performance at all and I do see an improvement in battery life, as you would expect.

Here is a decent breakdown of what low power mode actually does;

Thanks. Here's another breakdown I found:

Could Permanent Low Power Mode Help Your iPhone's Battery Life?

You can use Shortcuts to automatically prioritize your iPhone's battery over features and functionality.

Also seeing reports on the interweb about low power mode reducing battery life. That sounds odd, but some of these folks seem to believe there's a clear cause -> effect there:

Interesting. Personally, I have not seen any negative effects of using low power mode.

I ran my 3.5 year old iPhone 11 constantly in low power mode and battery health was still at 88% when I got rid of it, and I am a heavy user.

Was this down to low power mode or not who knows.

Is there a way to have it activated all the time? Cos after charging it switches back to normal mode automatically

Shortcuts.app > Automation > + > Create Personal Automation
Trigger: Charger Is Disconnected > Turn Low Power Mode On
and
Trigger: Charger Is Connected > Turn Low Power Mode Off
Untick Ask Before Running in both cases.

Or, if you want LPM to stay active even during charging, use this trigger:
When Low Power Mode Is Turned Off

edit: I don't recommend the latter (LPM active all the time) as it completely prevents iCloud Photos sync unless you manually force it.

I’ve been using low power mode on my 14 Pro Max and it has made the battery last longer, but I also use the phone heavily and that also comes into play with the battery dying but not as fast as if I didn’t have Low Power Mode on.
