    Yeah agreed and I don’t even use low power mode on my 13 Pro or 15 Pro (or any of my iPhones actually) cuz it disables the 120Hz refresh rate on the Pro models and it noticeably throttles/slows down the performance of the phones, I’ve never used it on my iPad or MacBook Pro and especially would never wanna use it on one of the newer MacBook Pro models, like I always have my Anker 747 Power Bank (PowerCore 26K) with me and if I need to charge my MacBook or iPhone, I can just plug it in. No point in buying a $2K plus machine and then turning on low power mode to “save battery”.

          Is there a way to change if the low power mode is on quickly. The only way I could see is through settings. Tbh as someone who came from(and still mainly uses) windows I kinda just learned the bare minimum and moved on so idk about a lot of things
