The new Mac Studio models with M4 Max and M3 Ultra chips support Low Power Mode, according to an Apple support document updated today.

Apple says turning on Low Power Mode reduces the Mac Studio’s fan noise, which is useful for tasks that require a quieter environment, and it also allows for reduced power consumption if the computer is left running continuously.

The reduced fan noise aspect of Low Power Mode requires macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later. The new Mac Studio ships with macOS Sequoia 15.3.

A few Reddit users said macOS Sequoia 15.3 enabled Low Power Mode on the previous-generation Mac Studio with the M2 Max chip, and presumably on M2 Ultra configurations too. This is not reflected in Apple’s support document.

In any case, Low Power Mode on the Mac Studio is fairly new.

As obvious as it may sound, Apple’s support document also confirms that the Mac Studio still lacks High Power Mode for additional cooling.
