AI vs. Battery Life: iOS 19 Will Help iPhone Work Longer Without Recharging

The upcoming iOS 19 operating system may receive built-in tools based on neural networks designed to improve the energy efficiency of the iPhone. According to Bloomberg, the new feature will analyze user behavior and adapt the operation of applications and system processes in real time to reduce energy consumption. It is expected that the OS will learn to predict when it is worth saving battery power and adjust the device’s operation accordingly.

One of the innovations will be an updated lock screen – it will have a widget displaying the predicted time until the smartphone is fully charged when connected to the network. This feature is especially relevant in light of rumors about the upcoming iPhone 17 Air. The ultra-thin 5.5 mm case, according to preliminary information, will limit the size of the battery, and this, according to some reports, was the reason for Apple’s increased attention to intelligent optimization of autonomy. In addition, the company may introduce an external battery in the form of a case specifically for this model.
