Apple is working on a new “adaptive power” feature in iOS 26 that aims to make your battery last longer. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman first reported on the possibility of an AI-powered battery optimization feature for the iPhone last month. Google has a similar Adaptive Battery feature for Android phones, which it says uses AI to analyze how you use your phone, allowing it to shut off lesser-used apps in the background. The Adaptive Power toggle currently exists alongside Low Power Mode in the Battery > Power Mode section of the Settings menu in the iOS 26 developer beta. Apple plans to release the iOS 26 beta to more users next month before rolling it out to everyone in the fall.
