When Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 8<\/a> on Wednesday, it introduced a new low power mode feature that lets the wearable double its battery life by turning off a few features. It won\u2019t be limited to Apple\u2019s latest devices, though \u2014 during the presentation<\/a>, Apple said low power mode is coming to \u201cthe Series 4 and later\u201d with watchOS 9, which is launching September 12th<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company didn\u2019t say whether the mode would be as effective on older devices as it claims it will be on the Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra<\/a> (Apple says its bigger watch will be able to go from 36 hours of runtime to 60 with the mode turned on). But based on what we know about how it works, it\u2019s clear that it\u2019ll be less effective on at least a few models. <\/p>\n
