Why The iPad Doesn't Have Low Power Mode

Low Power Mode on the iPhone is a very popular feature. But for some reason, Apple decided not to include it on the iPad. And I’ll explain why in this video.

As a student who takes notes on the iPad at university, low power mode would be extremely useful since I usually run out of battery before the end of the classes.

Edit: I know that they added it in iPadOS 15 but the power drain from 15.1 is so bad that it’s not really an improvement.

Lmao on iPadOS 15 we now have Low power mode. It's official.

Are you a mind reader, Greg? Literally, today afternoon during my online classes, my iPad’s battery was 7%, and I was thinking why iPad doesn’t have low power mode like iPhones. Hats off to you, sir.

Might explain why iPads lack “battery health” settings either

[MasterKey]

Why not an optimised charging feature which is in literally every apple device including the MacBooks

*Battery doesn’t get as low as iPhones*
Notability: Allow me to introduce myself

[jimmy_os]

Them: the battery doesn't get as low as Iphones
Me: *sometimes burns through 15% in 15 minutes*

I actually use my iPad way more than my iPhone and I’m sure there are people like me!

Ive wanted to put low power mode so many times.

“iPads are used differently than iPhones”


I use my phone for YouTube and I do the same thing with my iPad too.

Greg: Why iPad doesn’t have low power mode?
Apple: Releases iPadOS 15 with low power mode.
Hats off to Apple.

Apple: we want iphone battery to last all day
Also Apple: reduces size of iPhone batteries

[Enderia]

“That doesnt run low as often-“
My iPad mini 4 that dies for no reason: *are you challenging me?*

[MXALOVE]

I turn on low power mode at any % honestly cuz I don't even notice the difference and the extra battery is great

I mostly watch these kinds of videos to see what olympics-level mental gymnastics you come up with to tell us the obviously stupid thing is actually somehow clever and good for us.
You never disappoint.

Him: the iPad is not as necessary.
Kindergartners: ACTUALLY THE IPAD IS *VERY NECESSARY* UGH

Apple: Preventing users from accessing features included in the product for as long as I can remember, and perhaps longer.
