"No matter how flashy a smartphone might be, how many features it touts, it has a single piece of technology packed inside that is more important than any other: the battery. When it runs dry, your smartphone can no longer be the world's best camera or the ultimate communication device. It is nothing more than a useless slab of glass and metal."
"It then uses this data to predict whether you may need extra battery life for the day. If Adaptive Power determines that you are, in fact, going to need more battery life for the day, it will help conserve your iPhone's power by lowering the screen brightness by 3%, limiting background activities, turning on Low Power Mode when your battery reaches 20%, and making other performance adjustments."
Battery life determines a smartphone's usefulness; a drained battery renders a device effectively useless. Apple has increased battery capacities and optimized iPhone software to prolong single-charge runtimes. iOS 26 introduces four features aimed at extending battery life, including Adaptive Power. Adaptive Power uses machine learning to track recent usage patterns and predict daily battery needs. When increased battery conservation is predicted, Adaptive Power lowers screen brightness, limits background activity, and automatically enables Low Power Mode at 20%, among other performance adjustments. Users can enable Adaptive Power and notifications in Settings > Battery > Power Mode.
