Apple is likely to add a new feature in iOS 18.2 that shows how long it takes for the iPhone’s battery to charge.
iOS 18.2: This is how long it takes for your iPhone to charge
People outside the EU are mainly looking forward to iOS 18.2 for the previously announced Apple Intelligence features such as Genmoji and Image Playgrounds. But Apple is also working in the background on a feature that will be useful to us right away. In the latest iOS 18.2 beta, code has been discovered that refers to a new ‘BatteryIntelligence’ framework that allows the system to calculate the estimated charging time. In iOS 18.2 you can see at a glance how long it will take before the iPhone is fully charged.
The implementation of such a feature shows that Apple is continuously working to improve the user experience and bring more transparency to everyday processes such as charging the battery from your iPhone. It will be a welcome addition for many people, especially when they are short on time.
Charging time prediction
The introduction of the new feature in iOS 18.2 joins a slew of battery-related improvements that Apple has made in recent years. From optimized charging to improved energy saving options. Adding a function in iOS 18.2 that shows how long it will take until your iPhone is charged mainly provides more insight into the charging process.
It remains to be seen how accurate the charging time prediction will be and whether it takes into account factors such as the charging method used (wired or wireless) or the ambient temperature. Experience shows that Apple attaches great importance to precise functions, so it is obvious that this will again be the case.
We still have to wait a little while for the new feature, but it is already clear that Apple continues to work on improving the iPhone experience. Predicting how long it will take for your iPhone to charge in iOS 18.2 is another step towards a better user experience. The new iOS update will probably be released in early December.
