IT Home October 25th news, Apple iOS 16.1 official version was released, with new options to support clean energy charging, aiming to enable iPhone users to reduce their carbon footprint. Clean Energy Charging selectively charges when there is low carbon emissions to meet users who want to adopt a more environmentally friendly charging method.
Apple today released a support file on clean energy charging, providing more specific details on how it works, how to disable it if necessary, and what settings need to be activated to make it work.
Clean Energy Charging is limited to U.S. Region , which requires enabling location services, system customization and important locations in the system services section of the setup application in order to function.
IT Home learned that by default, it is on and those who want to turn it off will need to do so by entering the settings Battery Battery Health and Charging. After
is enabled, Clean Energy Charging allows iPhones to obtain carbon emission forecasts from nearby energy networks, which is used to charge iPhone during clean energy production periods.
Apple says clean energy charging works with optimized battery charging, learning users' habits, and only starts when the iPhone is charged for a long time, such as at home or at work. If the charging habit is not fixed, or when the user is in a new location, such as traveling, it will not participate.
When clean energy charging is turned off, the notification on the lock screen provides details on when the iPhone is fully charged, similar to optimizing battery charging. Touch and hold the notification and the option "Charge Now" will appear, setting the iPhone to fully charged.
