IOS 9 Is Here

jazzydrury3 · 16-09-2015, 21:21

I'm running iOS 9.1 beta does that have the battery saving

moox · 16-09-2015, 21:21

I have the News app in the 9.1 beta on an iPad 3 and an iPhone 4S.

Is that a question? If so then yes 9.1 does have Low Power Mode in battery settings. The battery icon on the home screen will go yellow.

jazzydrury3 · 16-09-2015, 21:24

Yes the news app is good

If we're talking about the same iPad 3 (the last one with the 30 pin connector), it works on mine with a 4S. I can make and receive calls through the iPhone, the iPad "rings" when the phone rings, etc

The Apple site says neither of my devices should work, though. I wonder if that's a fluke or if they plan to make it available in 9.1 GM?

If you are using 9.1 there should be a Low Power Mode to switch on at the top of the page in settings > battery. I think it's in iOS 9 also.

Just discovered a blocking app in Safari called Crystal. It's free for a limited time. I just tested on my iPad on the DS homepage and all the ads were gone.

So it does. Thanks cause adblock wasn't working fully.

jazzydrury3 · 16-09-2015, 22:17

Didn't realise the power saving option didn't kick until your lower of battery

you can turn it on manually though in the new battery sub-menu

jazzydrury3 · 16-09-2015, 22:30

Maybe tomorrow I need to reset my iPad as I haven't got the setting

JasonWatkins · 16-09-2015, 22:35

wow, that crystal ad-blocking plugin for safari is fantastic. handles DS flawlessly for one thing, so i tried the daily mirror website which is very advert heavy and not an ad in sight - and, unlike the adblock browser, it handles it seamlessly as well - the adblock browser did pause and hang quite a lot loading up advert intensive sites.

could finally start using safari again after a LONG time !

It's eating a lot of battery life so far though.

ah, that's a pity. i've got my phone on charge so that wasn't immediately obvious.

the app link claims it improves battery life as a result of blocking adverts and user tracking though, so maybe it's more of a cumulative effect ?

I'm not seeing any difference in battery run down rate so far, only been using it for the evening so far though.

I just charged my phone about an hour ago and it's down to 77% already which is highly unusual for me.

I installed it with around 40% battery, it's been about 2 hours or so and I'm now on 33%, about what I expect.

Edit

That's on iPad, not iPhone though.

It may be due to downloading the app and setting it up. I'll let it settle down for a couple of days and monitor the battery.

JasonWatkins · 16-09-2015, 22:59

I'm just setting up safari again while i'm on charge, so i'll see what happens once i unplug.

loading up some of the sites i use regularly on opera mini is really something else - not a sight of an advert anywhere

i assume that with safari 'officially' accepting plugins now though, it could only be a matter of time before something like uBlock makes an appearance

alanwarwic · 16-09-2015, 23:06

That sheds light on the motivation. It being the most noticable thing about 9 its going to cause heated dicussions from ad companies

It creates an intriguing funnel for iAds.
