iOS 19 will be unveiled next month at WWDC featuring a major new design and a lot more.One new feature to expect, per Mark Gurman, is a battery life upgrade thanks to Apple Intelligence.New battery life feature in iOS 19 will benefit all iPhones, but especially iPhone 17 Air Mark Gurman writes at : Upgraded battery life in iOS 19 might just be one of the best Apple Intelligence features yet.
I love the idea of a Lock Screen feature that shows you charging time estimates too.That one-two punch could prove a big hit with iPhone users.It’s also extremely timely: the iPhone 17 Air will arrive this fall, likely right after iOS 19’s public launch, and need all the battery assistance it can get.
Gurman confirms the 17 Air’s relevance here: Thankfully, this new iOS 19 feature isn’t expected to be exclusive to the 17 Air.Rather, Gurman says that all compatible AI iPhones will get it—but the Air stands to benefit most.Are you excited for iOS 19 to make battery life longer using AI?
