Tutorial Description

Have you ever glanced at your iPhone and realised that you're down to your last 10% of charge with no charger in sight? Or set off on a trip knowing that the charge on your iPhone isn't going to last the day and you left your battery pack at home?

Low Power Mode to the rescue.

Lower Power Mode optimises your battery life by switching off non-essential services and gives you extended power just when you need it. In this tip video, Don takes you through the basics of Low Power Mode. He also shows you to create an automation in Shortcuts that turns on Low Power Mode automatically based on your battery's charge level.

This was a very helpful. I'm wondering however if your creation of a shortcut to automatically turn on low power mode when the 20% level is reached may not be duplicative of the built in adaptive power mode setting you point out is now in IOS 26. Or is there a difference? And just as food for thought, might it add just a touch of engagement to your presentations to emulate the real person intro that Lee has been using of late?

Hi Tom - great to hear from you! Adaptive Power Mode is definitely going to help take care of that, for sure, however I know there are people who would prefer the belt and braces approach of knowing that if, for any reason, it doesn't work, then having the shortcut set up as a backup is a nice to have. Also - not everyone updates to the next version of iOS straight away and some wait a while, so it's useful to show. As always, appreciate your comments!
