A new feature called Adaptive Power in iOS 26 uses on-device intelligence to extend battery life on compatible iPhones by adjusting performance based on usage patterns. It analyzes user behavior over about a week and activates savings in power-intensive tasks like video recording or gaming. The setting is available only on models supporting Apple Intelligence.
