In our blog we have already talked on many occasions about the news that have been included in iOS 8. The truth is that there are many, and very different in many ways from what Apple had us used to. But some of them have simply been relegated to a function that is not as relevant as it seems, or we cannot find the second use for it. We refer for example to the mode grayscale that you can activate on your screen and which is the protagonist in some tweaks which we have told you about in Actualidad iPhone.
However, in this case it is not a matter of adding a new app or tweak to our terminal, but of taking advantage of the function found in the Accessibility section to achieve better performance of the battery in emergency situations. That is, it is not that we always carry the iPhone screen in this mode, but that we activate it only when we know that we will need the phone and we will not have how to charge it in any way.
Obviously, there are more options to save battery on iPhone and many of them you have been able to discover in other published articles, but this mode, which has been included in iOS 8 is quite unknown to achieve this effect, and that is why today we wanted share the trick with you. Taking into account that dimming the brightness of the screen is a fairly widespread possibility and that it is not new, if you do not mind giving up the color for a while in exchange for a greater punctual autonomy, you may have discovered a new formula to make it simple. And taking into account that Murphy mobiles always seem to appear at the worst moment, it is always good to have solutions like this at hand, don't you think?
I ask why I don't know: why does black and white save energy?
The pixels are still working.
Greetings.
The black color spends less than the white car'e poo, although both ways are working, pasteeel!
It is clear that if you use the iPhone regularly, any model, you need to carry an external battery to avoid autonomy problems, especially if you have intensive use.
Yes, I don't understand it either. I don't know much about technology, but what I understand from what they tell us is that in amoled screens getting the color black does not cost energy, but in lcd the light source is always active, right?
Could someone knowledgeable on the subject tell us why it consumes less energy while being in black and white?
A few weeks ago I tested the gray scales for two days and how the battery was doing. Absolutely no difference (iPhone 5s)
As the little princess Cristina did not like my message, she has deleted it, because I will try to contain myself and write it in a more precious way and with beautiful words and flowers, to see if she likes it more ...
This little princess (Cristina Torres) has spent 10 precious days, sparking beautiful but the same things, like strange tips and several for the batteries ... instead of repeating several times and several days with strange but very very beautiful things, you could not always put it on the same post? If you are as kind and pretty as I think you are?
Could you please, my love, stop repeating the same precious posts, please, I ask you?
This website normally contained interesting information… .. I am not saying that you don't put anything interesting… I think that after Steve Jobs you are the best there is in this world…
HahhahahahahahhHhahh (assassassassa)
I agrees with you
the virgin….
This saving battery on an iPhone already needs a bible ... so much mobile so much design for the battery waste ... and nobody complains send cohones!
What happens is that AMOLED screens, like those of the Samsung galaxy, hardly consume energy in black tones. That is why its power saving mode consists in part of turning the screen to black and white.
It seems that the author of this ... article, has thought white and in a bottle, and has written based on her reasoning ("if this phone saves energy, maybe this one too, right?")
I hope that I am not erased for putting a critical opinion, I have read that it is something that some do.
What impertinent comments are read in the news ... It is not necessary to disrespect and if someone is not convinced by the news, why go in and read it?
How would we know that the news contains garbage if it is not read? you are an idiot it seems
Apart from the dubious quality of the news, which lately has ceased to be dubious, and it is clear that they do not have it, it is really disgusting to see the kind of people with whom I share this web page.
Your way of expressing yourself, of speaking, of using language ... is really regrettable and deplorable. I can not believe that you have enough training, if you want, to have a nokia 3210, let alone an iphone. I thought that to have an iPhone, at least you had to know how to read, and therefore, write.
Cristina, the news is totally expendable. People who read this forum, or at least 85% of those who write comments, are too.
hahahaha ole!
Bravo!
You can not imagine how happy I am that my comments have made you take for granted. It seemed more elegant not to give names, but I doubted, and much, that you would be able to realize that you are involved.
Now that things are clearer, I can say if you are open, that you offend. You offend Cristina (it is her responsibility to put you in your place), you offend the Castilian, you offend the sight ... it offends me to read such nonsense. You really don't have anything better to do?
Nobody is essential, but many people are expendable depending on what cause.
The truth is that sometimes you feel ashamed of others. And that macho thought that sometimes surfaces and that has nothing to do with criticism itself is really regrettable. I think that freedom of expression has limits and that type of comments exceed it.
Disrespect is to put that in grayscale saves battery.
Unfortunately, a news was made based on the energy saving of another phone without taking into account that it is another technology another model with other conditions. Grayscale is only an option for people with certain color blind disabilities or perhaps others. That is why it is in Accessibility. This is not an adequate publication because at first I believed it but due to so many comments I found out and if I found out that the person who published, is in a big mistake
Some comments have no place whatsoever, because they only seek to get my attention to respond to insults and personal comments that I think are more than in a technology blog, and that already say a lot about the person himself. But for the others, in which more information is requested, I recommend doing a search in Google, with the terms in English "can be gray scale useful to iPhone battery" or a similar one in Spanish so that you can see that what I say has to see with the iPhone, and not with Android terminals as has been said. In any case, it is not a panacea, just one more option with consequences. The one who wants to use it, and the one who doesn't, doesn't. Greetings to those who have commented with respect.
regards

go in there and translate what it says .. it doesn't save energy .. you don't hunt one, I don't know how they let you write in this blog. dedicate yourself to something else
Damn what a coincidence, I must be the only one who is putting the screen in Grayscale and has managed to end the day with the battery, which was impossible before. On the other hand, as I have read above, I think that the% of people who write comments and excess is 95%. Many of the comments are sexist because it is a woman who writes it instead of being a man, as is usual in this type of blog. Think before you get into the editor and get it out of your head that she is a woman. You can see your duster a lot.
This post is an option without more, there are many people who value this type of advice a lot.
Is this post serious?
If we don't turn on the phone, the battery lasts longer, it doesn't bother you.
buy an iPhone 6 and use the gray screen to last the day….
what a waste of fucking money!
For that I buy another mobile with more battery
Akiles stub is still the duration of the battery and 5 more iPhones are out!
The contribution of Cristina Torres has been useful for me, I think that if something has been created, some function must have, personally, thank you Cristina Torres for your contribution, it helped me a lot
Everyone feels like an expert in spelling just because the phone corrects them.
Excuse me, the screen of my iphone 4s was colored gray all the applications and the photos changed the screen and it follows me the same, it will be that it is a failure of the equipment or it is wrongly programmed that it has a function that removes the color from my cell Thank you very much
Fully valid article. I was in a distant place without a charger and when I put it in B / W the battery lasted a day and a half until I could get it to charge again. Greetings. Respect above all.
