With the iOS 18.2 update, Apple is preparing to offer iPhone users a feature that estimates the time it takes to fully charge the battery. This feature, discovered in iOS 18.2 developer beta 2 code, is based on a new framework called “Battery Intelligence”. Accordingly, it calculates the estimated charging time based on the amount of energy going to the device.
Charging time will be estimated with iOS 18.2 beta
One of the most important points of this feature will be the possibility to receive notifications when the iPhone’s charge reaches 80 percent. This will allow users to better monitor the charging status of their devices. This will be especially useful before going out or when you need an accurate estimate of the remaining charge time.
The battery charge estimation feature builds on the battery life improvements in iOS 18. For example, users can limit their iPhone’s maximum charge to between 80 and 95 percent to protect the long-term health of the battery. The feature is compatible with iPhone 15 and up.
Apple is working on a new blocker for the Hey Siri command.Accordingly, various commands will be blocked.
In addition, iOS 18 also provides information that the iPhone is charged with a slow charger, allowing users to make more informed decisions about their charging habits.
iOS 18.2 will bring other innovations as well as battery-oriented features. Among the most anticipated of these are new iOS features including Genmoji, Image Playground and ChatGPT integration.
Genmoji, in particular, could usher in a new era of digital communication by allowing users to create personalized emojis based on facial features. Image Playground will make it possible to perform advanced image analysis and recognition tasks directly on the iPhone.
