Do iPhones charge slower when Low Power Mode is on?

I've heard this and experienced it, but not sure if it's true at all.

iPhone 8, iOS 11

Hello.


No it doesn't. 


Low Power Mode reduces or affects these features:

  • Email fetch
  • "Hey Siri"
  • Background app refresh
  • Automatic downloads
  • Some visual effects
  • Auto-Lock (defaults to 30 seconds)
  • iCloud Photo Library (temporarily paused)


 So, this means that iPhone should charge much faster when it's on Low Power Mode. It will turn the LPM off when the charge of the battery reaches 80% and continue charging normally.
