Apple’s Adaptive Power feature uses more subtle methods to extend the battery life.
Apple pushed out iOS 26 Beta 7 today, a week after it dropped the second release of Beta 6. With the end of August and the start of September within sight, we are coming closer to the launch of the stable version of iOS 26. If you have been installing the iOS 26 Beta updates, you should know that by going to Settings > General > Software Update, you will receive the notification that the latest Beta version is here. Follow the directions to install it.
We’ve seen Apple play with the intensity of the Liquid Glass UI throughout the Beta process. This time, for Beta 7, it feels as though Apple has lowered the intensity of the Liquid Glass, making it a little more translucent and less transparent. With one or two Beta releases left before the stable version of iOS 26 is released by Apple in September, it will be interesting to see what the final version of Liquid Glass will look like.
If you go to Settings > Battery > Power Mode, you’ll see a new toggle for Adaptive Power Notifications. The Adaptive Power feature, when toggled on, makes small adjustments to the brightness of the display and also allows some activities in the background to take longer to extend the iPhone’s battery life.
