Battery life is a major concern for iPhone users, and Apple has addressed this with a new feature called Adaptive Power in iOS 26. Designed to extend battery life without compromising performance, this feature is ideal for users who worry about their iPhone running out of charge during the day.

How to Enable Adaptive Power
Unlike Low Power Mode, which reduces performance and disables some features, Adaptive Power optimizes battery usage while keeping your phone running smoothly. To enable it, go to Settings > Battery > Power Mode and turn on Adaptive Power.

How It Works
When your iPhone detects unusually high power usage, Adaptive Power automatically adjusts settings, such as dimming the display and slowing background processes, to help the battery last longer on a single charge.

Supported iPhone Models
Currently, Adaptive Power is available only on devices that support Apple Intelligence, including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 series. Apple may extend support to older models in the future, though no official confirmation has been given.

With Adaptive Power, iPhone users can enjoy longer battery life without having to compromise on performance.
