Hi, The Reduced Motion is a visual thing. From a visual prospective, it's the fancy animations that the iOS displays when starting up apps and other iOS activities. It is said that apps will start a little faster if the device is set to Reduced Motion. Simply because it's doing these fancy graphics, it may slightly affect battery life and since I can't see them, they may as well be set to not happen.
