iOS 9 will Extend iPhone's Battery Life up to Three Hours

With every new major iOS update, Apple is improving the battery life for iPhone and iPad owners. Such is the case with iOS 9, as well, which by itself increase the battery life for iPhone users by one hour. However, by using the 'Low Power Mode', it will be possible to extend battery life up to three more hours on top of that. Here's what Apple says:

"Across the entire operating system, apps and key technologies have been made more efficient to trim battery usage wherever possible — so you get more battery life for the things you do every day. Thanks to ambient light and proximity sensors, your iPhone knows if it’s facedown on the table and prevents the screen from turning on, even when you receive a notification. And the new Low Power mode lets you extend your battery life even further."

The Low Power Mode is indicated by a yellow battery life icon. The new software feature limits network activity by switching the Mail app to fetching manually, disabling background app refresh and downloads, reducing motion and brightness, and reducing network speed.
