Apple Watch gets battery saver

Earlier Apple watch users used to get a very less amount of battery life as it was only for a day but now they can get more as Apple watch is introducing battery saver mode. According to reports, Apple Watch users who are eligible for the watchOS 9 version are getting an update this week, which brings the new power-saving mode for users. Watch users can enable this feature manually to get more out of the Apple Watch whenever needed.

 

Other Perks

The best thing is that the software can automatically turn on when the battery level goes below 10 per cent, and disable it when the Watch has more than 80 per cent of juice. You can manually enable the new mode by going to the Control Centre of the Apple Watch or through the Settings on your iPhone.

 

How the feature works

According to News 18, “So, how does the Apple Watch achieve the additional load of the battery? The company has tuned the feature to turn off critical features like Always-on-Display, alerts from the heart rate monitor, blood oxygen measuring and workout reminders.”

They added, “Apple also says that if the Watch is not linked to an iPhone in its proximity, the Wi-Fi and cellular network on the Watch will also be disabled.

The company has not said how much difference will power-saving mode make on the overall life of the Watch but looking at the features that are getting disabled, we assume you can easily get an hour or two extra worth of juice from the battery. It is also expected that the mode will make the interface experience a bit sluggish and the animation on the Watch won’t be its usual fluid.”

How will iPhone 15 ‘Ultra’ replace the upcoming Pro Max models?

It’s possible that Apple will change its naming convention with the iPhone 15 the following year. Instead of calling its largest and most expensive device the iPhone 15 Pro Max as one might anticipate given the company’s recent history, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports. The modification would occur concurrently with the biggest iPhone redesign since Apple unveiled the iPhone 12 in 2020, according to reports. Gurman predicts that the iPhone 15 will include USB-C as well as other “bigger changes.”

 

Apple’s smartphone line has undergone a few branding changes over the years. In the early days of the iPhone, when Apple released a sizable update every two years, iterative models had a “S” prefix. Since 2019 and the line’s diversification to include distinct mainstream and premium variants, the company has been marketing its most technologically advanced phones under the names “Pro” and “Pro Max.” Additionally, after discontinuing the Plus branding in 2017, Apple started using it again this year. Dropping Pro Max in favour of Ultra would be a smart move given that there is already an Ultra model in the Apple Watch lineup.

 

The Upcoming iPhone 15

 

There have already been a few intriguing rumours regarding the iPhone 15. Prior to the European Union enacting a law requiring all new smartphones made after 2024 to feature the port, Gurman reported that Apple was testing USB-C iPhones. More recently, display expert Ross Young predicted that the entire iPhone 15 line would include the Dynamic Island display cutout from the iPhone 14 Pro.

 

Gurman also suggested today that Apple may skip this fall’s event in favour of concentrating on the near term. He asserts that the company will release new Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pro models before the year is out. Gurman asserts that because most of those products will be incremental improvements to current models, Apple is “more likely” to make their announcement through a series of press releases.
