A future version of iOS 16 will help reduce the carbon footprint of your iPhone by changing how it charges.
Apple may have only just released iOS 16, but it’s already revealing features that will arrive in its next smartphone update.
In a blog celebrating the release of iOS 16 (which has not only come to the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro but many of the best iPhones you can buy today) Apple highlighted many of the new features it brings including customizable lock screens, an undo button in iMessage, and battery percentages in the status bar. But at the bottom of the page (opens in new tab), it also discussed features that will arrive in a future iOS 16 update.
One of these features is Clean Energy Charging which will supposedly reduce the carbon footprint of your iPhone.
Apple claims it’ll do this by “optimizing charging times for when the grid is using cleaner energy sources.
