Apple is working on a new \u201cadaptive power\u201d feature in iOS 26 that aims to make your battery last longer. In the iOS 26 developer beta, Apple describes the feature as a way for the iPhone to make \u201csmall performance adjustments to extend your battery life,\u201d including by lowering screen brightness and \u201callowing some activities to take a little longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the time, Gurman said that the feature will use the \u201cbattery data it has collected from users\u2019 devices\u201d to determine which apps it should lower power consumption on. Google has a similar Adaptive Battery feature<\/a> for Android phones, which it says uses AI to analyze how you use your phone, allowing it to shut off lesser-used apps in the background.<\/p>\n The Adaptive Power toggle currently exists alongside Low Power Mode in the Battery > Power Mode<\/strong> section of the Settings menu in the iOS 26 developer beta.<\/p>\n Apple plans to release the iOS 26 beta to more users next month before rolling it out to everyone in the fall. Along with a new \u201cLiquid Glass\u201d<\/a> design, iOS 26 adds a bundle of new features<\/a>, including updates to the Camera, Phone, Safari, and Messages apps, as well as Apple Intelligence-powered live translation for text messages and calls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is working on a new \u201cadaptive power\u201d feature in iOS 26 that aims to make your battery…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3159],"tags":[1662,1665,1666,547,12,326,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-171573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-ios","10":"tag-iphone","11":"tag-mobile","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114656182787228055","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
