Any reason why I shouldn’t run low power mode all the time?

[LuFins Dad]

I’ve never noticed a problem or difference in performance in low power mode. So why shouldn’t it run all the time?

On your phone, I assume?

According to the official Apple support page, Low Power Mode makes these changes to conserve your battery's charge:

• Turns off 5G (except for video streaming)
• Sets your iPhone screen to turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity
• Reduces display brightness
• Lowers display refresh rate for iPhones with ProMotion
• Eliminates some visual effects
• Pauses iCloud Photos sync
• Suspends automatic downloads
• Pauses email fetch
• Stops background apps from refreshing
• Low Power Mode also disables viewing videos in HDR, turns off the always-on display in iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, disables video autoplay, and reduces CPU and GPU performance.

If these features aren't important, why not?

Also, the article a nice workaround to aromatically turn low-power mode off when you need it.

Add a "shortcut" to turn low-power off if the battery is at 100%.

@LuFins-Dad, I think it is safe enough to at least try low-power mode all the time. So feel free to give it a shot, go low-power for a few days to a week and see if that works for you. Good luck.

Mine neither. I can see how the phone can detect fragrances, but I’m not sure how I can project the aromatics to get the phone to do what I want.
