Apple will use AI to help iPhones save battery power.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is developing a new battery management feature for iOS 19 that uses AI to optimize power consumption based on each user's actual usage habits.

This feature is expected to help extend battery life and improve device performance, especially given that iPhone models are becoming thinner and have smaller batteries.

Specifically, this tool will collect data from the device to identify usage trends and make accurate predictions about when to limit the activity of certain applications or features in order to save battery power.

This is a similar advancement to Android's Adaptive Battery feature, which uses machine learning technology that Google has been implementing since 2018 to identify which apps should be restricted in the background and prioritize frequently used apps.

Additionally, iOS 19 is also expected to add a charging indicator directly to the lock screen, showing exactly how long it takes to fully charge the device—a practical feature for busy users.

This AI-powered battery management feature is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 17, rumored to be Apple's thinnest phone ever.

With limited battery capacity due to the slim and lightweight design, energy optimization is more important than ever.

However, Bloomberg reports that this tool will not be exclusive to the iPhone 17, but will be available on all devices that support iOS 19.

Apple is expected to introduce iOS 19 at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, before its official release in September.

This update is also expected to bring a major interface overhaul, marking the next big transformation for the iOS operating system.
