Developers were able to download iOS 18.2 beta 2 yesterday. Next month, the stable version will be released to the public. According to 9to5Mac, the company is working on a new battery-focused feature in iOS 18.2 beta 2. Apple has already released useful battery health features for iPhones in the past. It would be the latest addition to the list of features.
It is referred to as ‘BatteryIntelligence’ in the publication. You’ll be able to see how long it will take to charge the iPhone. The estimated time will depend on how much energy the device receives. Furthermore, it depends on the specific battery level setting selected by the user. The recently released beta version revealed the feature. Therefore, it appears to be disabled and unfinished. Apple could release it in a future software update, according to the report.
The upcoming feature is similar to macOS on MacBooks. When the Mac is connected to a power source, the battery icon in the menu bar indicates the estimated time to fully charge the device.
On iPhones, battery health features include optimized charging settings to extend battery life, use of slow chargers, and battery cycle count.
