iOS 18 comes with some pretty nifty features, which you can check out on your iPhone right now. However, there are always some features hidden deep within the Settings app that you have to dig into to enable. The platform now comes with new battery health and charging settings, which will increase the longevity of the battery for iPhone 15 users. iPhone 15 and later models can now also notify users if they are using a slow charger.
Your iPhone will now notify you if you charge the device with a slow charger
Apple has added a few extensions to the battery charging settings, which now allow users to set up to a 95 percent charge limit, thereby protecting the battery's health. The limit was previously stuck at 80 percent, which some users did not prefer, and charging your device up to 95 percent could give them a bit of extra juice to last an entire day. Other than this, your iPhone 15 and newer models will now notify you if your device is being charged with a slow charger.
We have observed that the iPhone automatically notifies us of a slow charger, but we are not clear on the scale that Apple has set. This means that the threshold of a charger's power is unknown, so you will have to take note of which of your chargers are classified as slow. While iOS 18 does prompt a message with a slow charger warning, there is also another way to check.
In the Charging section of the Battery menu, you can see the graph that your device made based on your charging habits and the type. The company has introduced a new orange color to the mix, which indicates that you have charged the device using a slow charger. You can also see the Slow Charger indicator above the graph for information.
iOS 18 is a major update, and the company has brought a handful of useful features to the mix. The company is gradually becoming more serious about the battery on the iPhone and every year it is building up new features from the ground up. We will be sharing additional guides on iOS 18 and other platforms, so be sure to stick around.
