As you probably already know, Just a few days ago, we learned of the news coming to the iPad with iPadOS 15, as well as all the new features of macOS Monterey following the presentation of new Apple operating systems like iOS 15 at WWDC 2021.
Without a doubt, this presentation in question was about software. Now, as happened with the new features of iOS 15 that Apple didn’t mention, after the developers installed the first versions of iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey, some new features have been discovered, as important as the official arrival of low power mode on iPads and Macs.
This is how the new low power mode of iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey works
As we mentioned, in this case it is a novelty that Apple did not comment on in its own presentation, but which will undoubtedly be of great use to users. Like on the iPhone, With the first beta of iPadOS 15, you can now activate consumption mode from the settings of the iPad, which will disable some of its functions and reduce performance somewhat to provide longer battery life if needed.
So, as long as your iPad is compatible with this new version of the operating system, you can turn on low power mode whenever you need to save a little more power starting this fall when the final version will reach all users.
On the other hand, for MacBook and MacBook Pro, this low power mode will also be included in the models launched from 2016 of both teams with the arrival of macOS Monterey in autumn. In this case, the differences actually proposed are not clear. Apple detailed that processor performance is somewhat reduced and screen brightness is reduced to help reduce power consumption.
