Benefits

Low Power Mode can give you anywhere from one to three hours of added battery life before your iPhone dies, but it depends on what you are doing on your phone and how long you are active on your phone. For example, watching a movies would consume more battery as opposed to going through your photos.

How to Enable/Disable Low Power Mode

When your iPhone hits 20% battery power left, you’ll see a “Low Power Mode” window appear. Clicking Low Power Mode will turn it on, and if you hit Close, it will not be turned on.
