iOS 18.2 Introduces "Battery Intelligence"
Apple is adding a "Battery Intelligence" feature to iOS 18.2, allowing iPhones to estimate charging times. This feature, currently under development, will likely notify users about the estimated time to reach certain charge levels (e.g., 80%).
Enhanced Battery Features in iOS 18
iOS 18 has focused on improving battery management. Users can now set charging limits (80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%) and receive alerts about slow chargers. While "Battery Intelligence" is new to iOS, similar features exist on Android and macOS. For more on Apple and AI, see X Debuts Aurora Image Generator for Grok AI Assistant.
