Apple is finally making it easy to know when your iPhone will be charged up to 80 percent and these details will be available on the home screen itself. The iOS 26 update has a lot of new features and the Liquid glass design overhaul but some of the useful tools will be viewed as important as those changes from the company.

The new intelligent battery saver mode called Adaptive Power was tipped to be introduced with the iOS 26 update and soon iPhone users will have to enable it on their devices. 

Adaptive Power For iPhones: What It Offers 

iPhone users are finally getting a reliable tool from Apple to help them analyse their battery usage and trends. But the new power mode is going one step further by giving you the exact time left for the iPhone to hit the 80 percent. This data will be right next to the charging percentage that you can see on the lock screen while charging the iPhone. 

As we have mentioned before, there are multiple benefits of having this feature. iPhone users will know how much time they have to keep their device plugged in for charging. And secondly, they will know the charging speed offered by the charger, and replace it for faster results if necessary. So, let’s say you are using a slow charger and the iPhone is showing 8 minutes to 80 percent, you can easily look at replacing the adapter to get faster results. 

But the update does not end there. Let’s say you want to charge beyond the 80 percent mark, then the new Battery section in Settings offers a charging status bar which also gives you the estimated time left for 100 percent charge. 

iPhone users can also get more granular data like daily usage and monitor it for a week or more. The feature will give you details about any app that is using more battery than usual and also share the reason for this sudden change. Apple also is bringing a new Adaptive Power mode that will track the battery usage and see if reducing the screen brightness can help increase its standby time in the background.
