Apple recently unveiled its Adaptive Power feature during WWDC, which can help extend your iPhone battery life by making display brightness adjustments and limiting background activities. This AI-powered feature will automatically turn on Low Power Mode when the battery reaches 20% capacity.
While Adaptive Power is available for all iPhones that support iOS 16 (not 26, as mentioned in the original text), its impact may be more significant with Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air, a thinner and potentially lighter device. Other manufacturers like Samsung are also working on slim phones with improved battery life.
However, thin phones often come with trade-offs, such as reduced battery capacity and shorter lifespan. The challenge for Apple is to balance the benefits of a sleek design with reliable battery performance. Adaptive Power may be the key to making this work, but its effectiveness remains to be seen until the iPhone 17 Air’s release.
