Do you want to prevent the battery of your iPhone from becoming empty too quickly? Then you will get four handy battery functions for your iPhone next month!
New battery functions for iPhone
There are major changes to the iPhone! With iOS 26, Apple brings many new functions and an adapted interface to the operating system. Many of the new features are aimed at improving the battery life of your iPhone. That is striking, in earlier software versions, Apple has added few battery functions to the iPhone. With iOS 26 that changes, because you get many more options. These are them!
1. Adaptive current
One of the new battery functions for the iPhone is adaptive electricity in iOS 26. This feature applies as an extension to energy -saving mode, which only works at a battery percentage of twenty percent or lower. Adaptive current ensures lower battery consumption, even if the battery has more than twenty percent. With too high battery consumption, the iPhone makes small adjustments to the performance of the device.
For example, the screen clearance is lowered or the loading of certain activities takes a little longer. With these small adjustments, the battery life of your iPhone is extended, so that you do longer with the battery after charging once. View here how to enable the new battery function in iOS 26 and which iPhones have support for adaptive electricity:
2. Higher use than normal
Does the battery of your iPhone go empty faster than normal? In iOS 26 you can now see which application that is. One of the new battery functions indicates which app ensures higher power consumption with your iPhone. In iOS 18 you can already see what the battery use per application is. In iOS 26 there is a supplement, because your iPhone then gives a warning with apps that ensure a (too) high power consumption. You can see that from iOS 26 as follows:
- Open ‘settings’ on your iPhone;
- Tap ‘battery’;
- Open ‘View all info about battery use’;
- Finally, check the battery use per app.
In this menu your iPhone gives an overview of consumption by apps and system activity. Do you see an exclamation mark behind an application? In that case, that app ensures higher power consumption than normal. It is advisable to close this application so that the battery of your iPhone is less likely to empty. For example, the battery function of the iPhone prevents software from demanding a lot from the battery, without needing it.
3. Expected loading time
Is the battery of your iPhone almost empty, but are you about to leave? From iOS 26, the iPhone has a handy battery function for that, because you can see how long the device has to charge. On the lock screen you see the time that the iPhone needs to load up to eighty percent. This way you know exactly how many minutes you have to wait before your iPhone has enough power again.
That is not all, because at the settings of your iPhone you will find even more information about charging the device. Under ‘Settings> Battery’ you see a frame with the expected loading time of the device from iOS 26. This battery function not only shows how long the iPhone needs to charge up to eighty percent, but also how many minutes it takes before one hundred percent is reached.
4. New animation
The new design of iOS 26 is one of the most important changes for the operating system. Apple brings Liquid Glass to the iPhone, which makes many more elements transparent and look made of glass. That is not the only thing, because many symbols and animations have been redesigned. That also applies to the battery functions of the iPhone, so you can see more clearly because the new animation is that the battery is almost empty.
Does the battery percentage fall under twenty percent? From iOS 26 you will receive a clearer report in the Dynamic Island. When you receive this notification, you can immediately switch on the energy saving mode of your iPhone. With this new battery function you are therefore not only immediately aware of a low battery percentage, but you can also quickly save on the battery of your iPhone.
