What is Clean Energy Charging on iPhone?
Apple unveiled the Clean Energy Charging function with iOS 16.1. The feature can assist you in lowering your carbon footprint and is activated on your iPhone by default. The function uses your Location to draw information about carbon emissions in your area and enable the charging of your iPhone more effectively only during times of cleaner energy production. As a result, less energy comes from non-renewable sources during the charging process. The downside is that it only allows charging if the electrical system uses greener energy sources like solar or wind. “When Clean Energy Charging is enabled and you connect your iPhone to a charger, your iPhone gets a forecast of the carbon emissions in your local energy grid and uses it to charge your iPhone during times of cleaner energy production. Clean Energy Charging is available only in the United States and is on by default when you set up your iPhone or after you update to iOS 16.1.” Check our Google Web Story on Clean Energy Charging guide to learn more about it.
