What is the role of run loop in power-efficient iOS design?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Run loop coordinates events and allows CPU sleep when idle, improving power efficiency.
Deep explanation
Run loop processes input sources, timers, and events. When idle, it allows the system to put the thread to sleep, saving battery. Improperly scheduled timers or busy loops prevent sleep and increase power consumption.
