New versions of iOS and iPadOS in the near future will be able to track the remaining charge time of the battery.
This is one of the upcoming innovations that promises to have a big impact A series of small but numerous and in some cases very interesting changes to the current version.
Currently, when you connect your iPhone or iPad to the charger, the only indicator available is a percentage, which we check every time to see how much power is left.
In iOS 18.2 beta, instead, A frame appears (The structure necessary for the operating system to perform specific operations) is called “BatteryIntelligence”. According to the identified 9t05 Mac, its purpose is to calculate the charging time of the iPhone.
By utilizing the input energy, battery capacity, and accumulated energy, The operating system can let you know how long it takes to reach a certain percentage threshold.
This feature is useful in all aspects. The main thing is how long it takes to have enough energy Own a high-performance iPhone or iPad. But it might also be interesting to know how long it takes to reach a certain charging threshold How efficient is the charger or charging cable.
Apple has put a lot of effort into batteries in iOS and iPadOS. In the wake of the “batterygate” scandal that silently degrades phone performance when the battery is low, a series of innovations have followed to understand the health of the battery and manage it more accurately.
For example, just recently, starting with iOS 18, we were able to display the charging speed of the charger we are using, which previously had both “smart” charging and charging limits adjustable by percentage.
Currently, as mentioned before, we are faced with working on the internal structure of the operating system in preparation for the introduction of functionality. It doesn’t have all the necessary elements to appear in a real operating system, even in beta.
It remains to be seen whether it will be introduced in one of iOS 18.2 or later versions.
