Apple plans to reduce carbon footprint of iPhones with this upcoming iOS 16 feature

Apple has announced that its much talked about Clean Energy Charging feature is coming to iPhones later this year as part of a new iOS 16 update. Apple says the feature will help reduce the carbon footprint of iPhones. iOS 16 update has been recently made available for eligible iPhones.

Apple isn’t sharing key details at the time of writing but it says the upcoming feature will optimise charging times when the energy grid will be using cleaner energy sources. We don’t know how it will determine when the power grid is using cleaner energy or what “cleaner energy sources” even means.
