I don’t have any lag people are talking about in low power mode ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I use it all the time cause I have really long work shifts and I can type and take pictures and videos etc perfectly fine, on my old 13 pro and this 15 pro max
I guess one could switch on low power mode to limit it to 60 Hz. Not very hopeful though because I’ve read of 13/14 Pro users getting crazy lag when on low power.
Oh that detail helps. My partner complained that her 14 Pro was not right: slow while typing in iMessage and FB Messenger. When I tried her phone later I had no issues. I’m going to have to check her Focus and Shortcuts for low power mode.
I wish there was an option to limit it to 60 Hz. You’d still have the benefits of variable refresh rates, but with lower battery consumption.
Settings > accessibility > motion > limit frame rate
sigh This option shouldn’t be hidden in accessibility.
Does it reduce the frame rate to 60 HZ?
it caps it to 60hz but isn’t fixed, retaining promotion/VRR. I think the “normie” way to do it is low power mode
I have the normal iPhone 15 so can’t test it, but according to people, low normal mode introduces a lot of lag.
It just feels weird that regular iPhones are the one to recommend right now.

14 Pro User here.
Yes. It’s crazy. Typing in any app makes it lag, no matter if iMessage, Mail, WhatsApp, internet, in here, Notes…
The rest is lag-less. So as long as you don’t type you’re good using power saving mode.
