Apple's upcoming iOS 26 introduces an 'adaptive power' mode that uses AI to optimize battery life by making small performance adjustments, such as lowering screen brightness and delaying some activities, potentially enabling automatic Low Power Mode at 20% battery. The feature aims to extend battery longevity by analyzing usage patterns, similar to Android's Adaptive Battery, and will be available in the developer beta before a broader release in the fall.
