Apple recently released a new feature in iOS 26 called adaptive power mode, which can double iPhone battery life by making small performance adjustments. However, this feature is only available on newer iPhones that support Apple Intelligence, including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and current iPhone 16 models. Older models like the iPhone 14 Pro Max are not supported. It is expected that iPhone 17 devices will offer adaptive power mode when they are released.
Apple has recently introduced a new feature in iOS 26, called Adaptive Power Mode, aimed at extending the battery life of iPhones. This feature, currently in beta, works alongside the existing Low Power Mode to intelligently manage battery usage without significant user interference [1].Adaptive Power Mode makes subtle adjustments to performance, such as slightly dimming the display brightness or allowing some tasks to take a little longer to complete, when battery usage is higher than usual [1]. These changes are designed to be barely noticeable to the user, providing a seamless experience while extending battery life.
The feature is available on the following iPhone models: iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16e, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Older models, such as the iPhone 14 Pro, do not support Adaptive Power Mode due to the lack of necessary AI processing capabilities [1, 2]. The feature is expected to be available on the iPhone 17 models when they are released in September 2025.
The feature is turned off by default and can be enabled in the Settings app under Battery → Power Mode. Once activated, the iPhone will automatically monitor battery usage patterns and make adjustments as needed [1, 2].
Apple's latest earnings report indicates that iPhone sales saw significant growth, with iPhone 16 models proving particularly popular among consumers [3]. This growth could be attributed to the introduction of new features like Adaptive Power Mode, which may have contributed to increased consumer interest and satisfaction.
