This iOS 26 feature quietly extends your iPhone’s battery life

iOS 26's Adaptive Power Mode intelligently extends battery life on days when your iPhone usage is higher than usual.

What is does? It studies your daily usage patterns for about a week.

Based on this data, it predicts power-hungry days and prepares your iPhone to conserve battery automatically.

The feature makes subtle changes like slightly lowering screen brightness and reducing background app activity.

When battery drops to 20%, Adaptive Power can automatically enable Low Power Mode.

It doesn’t affect performance during demanding tasks like gaming, video recording, or camera-heavy usage.

You can turn it on or off anytime by going to Settings, Battery, and then Power Mode on supported iPhones.
