Yep. Things like turning off "Push" for mail and reducing cellular connection traffic are much less relevant for a wifi-only device.
@ Spheric, so you mean it's better with the low power mood on? sorry, am quite new here and not quite sure if i get the idea's right... Beside, i did turn it on the day before under cellular connection, not great experience. So i thought the phone likes more power on, i am with the 4s though. Thanks for your help and time.

My statement, as I meant it, was axiomatically incorrect. My assumption was that the actual cellular HW and radios were actually using less power, perhaps by dropping from LTE to 3G, or something. Upon further reason, taxing the cellular HW less is where a significant power savings can be had, but I, sadly, didn't mean it in the correct way.

I'll be interested to see reports of how usable the iPhone is if you enable low power mode and leave it on all the time. Assuming it doesn't have a major impact on what I do with the phone, I'd probably do just that.

I think iOS will auto-disable LPM at certain times. I'm pretty certain t's disabled after a restart, but I wonder if it's also disabled after it charges back up to full, or even once it's on the charger and past a certain percentage, like 20%.

If you're running the 9 beta and want to see something funny, ask Siri to enable Low Power Mode.
Works on the release version just fine.
Yeah, if you looked, that comment was from July.
LPM is still buggy for me, battery life drops in spurts with it and other issues seem to show up, so I don't use it.

WTF... this is a rethread... I mean retread thread?
No wonder people kept referring to "beta."

Yeah, a lot of iOS 9 posts are dredged up from summer and I find it really confusing before I pay attention to post dates.
I am under the impression the power savings comes from the cellular HW, which is notably absent from the iPod.

Lots of good info about the various options…
