The first iOS 16.1 beta seeded to developers today debuts a new feature called “Clean Energy Charging,” which is designed to lessen the iPhone’s carbon footprint when charging the device.
The “Battery” section of the Settings app, includes a “Clean Energy Charging” toggle switch that when enabled, selectively charges your device when lower carbon emission electricity is available in an effort to provide a more green charging method.
Apple says that the iPhone will still receive a full charge before it’s needed based on a user’s daily routine, and the feature can be toggled off if desired. The feature is enabled by default.
