Clean Energy Charging
- New setting that can try to reduce your carbon footprint by selectively charging when lower carbon emission electricity is available

Does anyone know how exactly does this feature work? Do you have it turned on or off?

"What Is Clean Energy Charging on iOS 16?​

Clean energy charging on iOS 16 is a feature that Apple implemented in iOS 16.1 that optimizes your charging times so that you draw more power when the energy grid uses renewable sources of energy. Most energy grids run on a majority of either oil or natural gas mixed in with nuclear and a combination of renewables, but a country can change its primary source of energy accordingly. Depending on the time and conditions, a country may use more renewables if it’s cost effective. Unfortunately for now, the clean energy charging feature is only available in the US as it utilizes information from the US Department of Energy and local authorities."

I have it on since it was available and have not noticed any difference with charging. I guess that's the point. Also have optimized charging on as well.
 
Loving live activities!

Not at all, Apple is doing such insane things that the only way to describe them is with colorful language. At times, it even looks like a dynamic dildo, the ring pulsates and gets longer and shorter as if it’s trying to decide what to do before settling on a long pill shaped thing with ring around the collar.

The fact that Apple came up with this, and hasn’t removed it, proves they are a lost cause. I can only imagine the trash they have in store for us in the pipeline. Maybe colored rings around icons? Colored rings around the dock? Colored rings around people? Who wouldn’t want a blue ring around all the people in their photos added by computational photography and Apples advanced machine learning? Maybe colored rings around every keyboard button as well? What about colored rings around the buttons in the phone dialer? I remember an old jailbreak tweak that did that, always thought it was ugly. Where does it end?

At the very least Apple could have done like they do with so many other things and given us an on/off switch for the dirty dynamic outline in accessibility settings. But nope, they are gonna force this hideous crap onto everyone no matter how bad it is. And remember, 99.9% of people with 14 pro’s aren’t big time devs like us who are running the beta. The general public hasn’t seen how bad their phones are about to get until the public release drops next week. This turd on the top of my screen ruins the entire experience and I cannot get past it, it needs to go away or this phone is getting thrown into the ocean.
This tirade is hilarious!! I hope it’s satirical? If serious, well….
 
Oh ok, I just updated and tried it out and my volume buttons aren’t working at all. Jesus Christ.

The volume +/- doesn’t work when phone is held close to ear on call(when proximity sensor is active).Volume can be increased or decreased when the phone is taken away from the ear and screen is lit
Same. 14 Pro, volume buttons not working on a call with the proximity sensor active. Have to move it away from your head and adjust when the screen lights up.

Please make a video of you throwing your iPhone in the Ocean with your replacement iPhone and share it with us folks.

Thank You.
 
Just soccer. And they are the only ones providing that type of app. I've searched daily for anyone else running a test flight app for other sports. GO DAWGS! :)
Okay thanks. Hopefully soon the big boys ( ESPN, cbs etc ) will add it!

Please let us know how battery life is on 16.1 RC and state your device as well

Most curious of 14PM since it’s my only ios16 device
 
Love the outline situation now… it’s there when in use but vanishes like magic no use… would be cool if when not in use it worked at control center with a black background like new pop ups, either access with live activities by swiping it away… makes sense to make more use of the DI? Also would be cool if you could use as a shortcut menu and store shortcuts and they pop out lol

Hoping the swipe up lag issue is resolved. It was really bad for me on beta 6. It will take time to tell.
 
The bug where the messages app would reload each time I left it for a little while is fixed ✅
Delighted about this as it was the only bug that was outstanding in my daily usage. This feels like a great release.
I spoke too soon - this bug is still there. Oh well, just gotta get used to a messages app that constantly resets to the view showing all the message threads instead of where I last left it.

It works best by turning it off so you can just charge your phone when you want.
