The results of Apple Intelligence since the launch of its AI functions are, let's say, mixed for the moment. The writing assistance tools, the shoehorned integration of ChatGPT into Siri, Image Playground, the email and notification summaries... None of this is truly revolutionary (or, let's face it, frankly essential). Added to this is the postponement indefinitely of the new Siri and its personalized responses.
AI to the rescue of the battery
Apple will have to rack its brains to come up with original ideas that will distinguish Apple Intelligence from the competition, which is moving at breakneck speed and showing no mercy. The computer manufacturer has a card to play on June 9, for the opening of WWDC. The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference will indeed be the opportunity for the apple company to unveil the new features coming to iOS 19. And we're expecting it in the field of AI.
Apple plans to integrate an intelligent battery management mode into iOS 19, Bloomberg reveals. This feature, which will be placed under the umbrella of Apple Intelligence, will automatically adjust settings based on the user's habits in order to save energy. It would rely on collected data to predict when to limit the consumption of certain apps or features. An indicator on the lock screen will also display the time remaining before a full charge.
There are already many battery settings for the iPhone, such as the component health level, cycle counting, charging limitation, etc. But AI assistance would be welcome to refine battery use and preserve it for as long as possible.
If the function is to appear on all iOS 19 compatible iPhones, it is the iPhone 17 Air that would have motivated the development of this new AI feature. The smartphone with its wasp waist is indeed likely to have a small battery, synonymous with weak autonomy compared to other iPhones. This optimization option will therefore not be useless to last as long as possible without having to go through the recharge box.
Furthermore, it seems that Apple would push its engineers to provide a copy with the minimum of bugs possible... which is easier said than done!
