The battery is always one of the most important factors of the iPhone. According to updated information, iOS 26 will bring a new, more durable battery-powered feature, Adaptive Power.
If Apple previously only had Low Power Mode, which turned off a series of features and significantly reduced the experience, Adaptive Power is designed to be slightly refined, maintaining stable performance while still saving the battery.
According to Apple, when the demand for battery increases, the iPhone will automatically make small adjustments such as lightly lowering the screen brightness or allowing some processing tasks to be slightly slower.
Notably, Adaptive Power is only available on Apple Intelligence-powered devices, meaning iPhone 16 or later or iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max.
This new feature promises to help users feel more secure during days when they need to use the iPhone more.
Adaptive Power can be considered Apple's next step in optimizing the user experience, instead of forcing it to trade off battery take-off performance.
With the trend of iPhone becoming thinner and lighter but the demand for use increasing, extending a few hundred% of the battery life is enough to make a difference in important situations.
Technology experts say this will be a useful feature, especially for those who often travel and work on the phone all day.
