![]() That means now we have 255 255255(combining red,green and blue values)=16777216 and thats the number of color possibilities in a RGB screen. They mix together in values from 0-255 to create other colors. So a single pixel on a greyscale screen can be one of those 256 possibilities, but in a normal screen that displays all the colors we have a "minipixel" for red, another one for green and one for blue. But in greyscale there are only 256! That's crazy isn't it? And this is exactly what saves your battery power, it's because the GPU has to do WAY LESS calculations.Įxtra info: colors on the screen are calculated from the values 0-255, 0 being the darkest and 255 the brightest. The GPU is where what you see on your screen gets processed, and it usually works with million of colors that include all the shades and mixes of red, green and blue and there are almost 17 million color possibilities. But your smartphone has a GPU inside of it and that's what will save battery in Greyscale mode The screen will still be on and the brightness will not change at all so theres no battery saving from the screen. ![]() How does this save battery? (and yes it does) Grayscale simply removes all the colors and makes them grey, just like the old TV's. Yes it will change what you see on the screen but not like 'dark mode'. On the other hand, Greyscale Mode is a completely different thing. After you set the filter, the settings apply system-wide. so basically it means dark/black background and white text/elements on screen. Grayscale To assist users for whom color might impair visibility, Apple Watch lets you enable grayscale onscreen. ![]() So Dark mode tries to have as much as dark/black colors showing on the screen. When your iPhone or iPad battery is running low and you do not have a charger nearby, you could switch the devices full-color screen to grayscale mode to. Everybody is confusing Greyscale with Dark Mode!ĭark mode changes the colors of the apps (including home screen and system apps like settings and such) and usually makes the backgrounds black since most of the screen is the background and by making it black it saves a lot of power.
