iOS 26 introduces a new feature called Adaptive Power Mode for iPhones, which complements the existing Low Power Mode. Apple claims Adaptive Power Mode can help extend battery life by making small performance tweaks.
This may include slightly dimming the display or allowing certain tasks to take longer when battery usage is above normal. According to the beta description for iOS 26, Adaptive Power Mode activates when battery consumption is unusually high.
While it supports devices from the iPhone 11 series onwards, it is only compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro and newer models due to its reliance on Apple Intelligence. Unfortunately, this means users with the iPhone 14 Pro and earlier will not have access to this feature.
Adaptive Power Mode could prove particularly advantageous for the anticipated iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to feature a slim design that restricts battery size. Despite this, Apple plans to release a battery case for the iPhone 17 Air.
The mode is disabled by default but can be activated in the Settings app under Battery, finding the Power Mode option. Meanwhile, analysts indicate that Apple is set to launch the Apple Watch Ultra 3 later this year, alongside the iPhone 17 lineup.
In other news, Chase has unveiled new benefits for its Sapphire Reserve credit card, including complimentary annual subscriptions to Apple Music and Apple TV+, valuing up to $250. However, Apple faces challenges with its CarPlay Ultra system, as some automakers, including Mercedes-Benz and Audi, are reconsidering their support.
Additionally, rumors about Apple’s upcoming foldable iPhone hint at innovative camera features, while speculations about the iPhone 18 Pro’s Face ID integration continue to circulate. Finally, it’s anticipated that new AirPods Pro will also debut soon, complete with exciting new features.
