iOS 19 Will Include AI Battery Management Feature

The phone already uses machine learning for power management. What the hell.

Maybe they get rid of the old battery optimization provided by ML, and then limit the AI battery optimization to the 16 and 17 series phones.

Somehow, your older phone will magically drain much faster, the newer phones won't, and Apple can just say "Upgrade to the new AI phones if you want it". I mean, that's basically Apple's M.O. anymore.

That’s great, as long as we can turn it off. I am all for technical advancements as long as we have an escape hatch.

They could just give a decent-sized battery instead of the “”same great 10 hours” year after year but I suppose that’d screw up their business model…

I'm surprised I didnt see any of the top rated comments pointing out that Android has done this for years.
 
I’d like a two line display when plugged in
Fast charge to 80% time remaining
Full 100% charge time remaining
 
Am I the only one who thinks that Apple is acting like it has no clue what it’s doing with iOS? This battery feature is probably only going to be available to iPhone 16 and up.
 
Might be useful for the iPhone Air. But will be turning it off for my Pro Max. This looks like an AI enabled low power mode. It will be nice to have an indicator showing the time remaining to fully charge the device.

Apple has fallen so far from the competition it's sad really. A tech company that once was the innovator to look up to now isn't. You can tell even from these forums that people are over the Apple mystique and the "features" they have to offer.

Maybe it can do something about the Amazon app, it uses 1% a minute on my iPad Air and iPhone 16 Pro! Even games don't drain the battery as fast as Amazon... I've pretty much given up on the app and use the site in Safari...
 
Seems counter intuitive to have to activate something I'll never use to save battery life.
 
People can track their battery using the battery health. An AI feature with battery management is of no use. Only if they allow users to turn it off rather than making it a default feature. It's a good choice.
 
I'm as cynical about AI as the next guy, but I'm actually surprised by how many negative responses there are to this. Using AI to optimize battery life behind the scenes actually sounds like a good idea to me.

it's because of their track record. Optimized battery charging for example, rarely works. I plug my mac 75% of the time and it never stops charging at 80%.

I don't think that's how that's supposed to work.

I think that's what OP means though. If you rarely take the mac off of the charger for long periods of time, but often take it off of the charger, it prevents the optimized charging from working.

If you leave a macbook on your desk for weeks on end, it's fine, but if you take it off of your desk multiple times a day for short meetings, it will end up at 100%. Then it will stay at 100% for the next month or two before it decides to drop back down to 80%, even if you never unplug it again.

At least, that was my experience.

Yes... not knowing what it's doing is how Apple got to manufacturing and selling 600,000 iPhones per day, every day of the year (on the average). Making it one of the most successful tech companies in the world with 1+ Billion active and repeat customers.

Sure sure, Nokia and Blackberry also had excellent sales and were market leaders for a while...

Yep... People have been saying that since Apple released iPhone way back in 2007, totally turning the mobile phone space upside down with its superior technology, features, ease of use, and seamless connection to Apple's ecosystem.

Today... I've yet to see *any* competitor phone coming even close rising to what Apple pulled off almost 20 years ago. Apple continuing to regularly innovate is what's keeping them ahead and their 1+ Billion active and repeat customers happy and manufacturing/selling 600,000 iPhones per day.

There will always be the sky-is-falling people saying Apple could lose it all any day now. That's been happening for almost 20 years.
