The New iPhone Charging feature turns itself on by default.

A new feature from the iOS version of the iPhone that was released back in the month of October is getting observed. Not everyone is happy with it.

The aim of green energy charging, which was introduced with iOS 16.1, is to ensure that iPhone users are able to rely less on energy sources that use fossil fuels through “selectively charging only when lower carbon emission power is in the.”

When the feature is turned on, according to Apple, “your iPhone will be able to forecast the carbon emissions from the local grid of energy and utilizes it as a source of power to recharge your iPhone in times of less electricity production.”

The concept, Tom’s Guide says is that charging is optimized when your grid is using less carbon emissions, which is, either green energy sources (think solar, wind) or off-peak hours

Charge times may be longer, but most likely you will not be aware of it. It is done alongside optimized Battery Charging to learn your habits of charging, and only be used at places you are most active in, such as your home or office. While it could require a longer time to recharge, it is likely to be active even when you’re sleeping.

Additionally, if you’re traveling or aren’t in the area that you are familiar with it won’t be on, but your iPhone will charge faster.

Apple did mention it in their announcements for the release of iOS 16.1 in October as well as per Apple Insider, Apple even announced it in September before iOS 16 came out. But the social media furor did not occur until the end of this week, and it was a fall in line with political views.
