iOS 18 - SECRET Battery Charging Feature!

hey guys did you know that iOS 18 has a built-in software feature that will help you determine if you're actually charging your iPhone at the fastest speeds possible and if you're actually using the correct charger for your iPhone yes iOS 18 now has a new feature built into the battery section that will help you determine if you're charging your iPhone as fast as possible now let me show you how easy it is to take advantage of this new feature within iOS 18 now obviously I have two Chargers sitting here on my desk I have a 5 watt these are both Apple Chargers so I have the 5 wat usba Apple charger and I also have the 20 wat Apple charger USBC as you see right there now the first one I'm going to go ahead and test is the 5 wat now keep in mind that the iPhone 15 Pro Max that you see on my desk is capable of up to 27 watts of fast charging so let's go ahead and plug this in the 5w charger first we're going to go ahead and plug it in here we go and take a look at that we're now charging at 5 watt speeds now keep in mind that you may want to wait at least 30 to 40 seconds until your iPhone can determine if the charge is optimal for your device using this specific charger so let's jump into settings here now you want to jump into the battery section and here in the battery section you may see yellow so if you see anything yellow Happening Here in the battery section it means that your iPhone is charging slow now as I mentioned you need to leave it about I don't know 30 seconds or so and then jump back into settings go into the battery battery section and wait to see if you see that slow charger prompt so it still hasn't kicked in the iPhone has not recognized rather it's fast or slow charger so we're going to give it a few seconds here and then we're going to jump right back into settings to see what the actual options are or the actual settings look like so still still waiting here for the iPhone to determine if we're charging at Optimum speeds it's been about 30 seconds now so let's go ahead and wait another 10 seconds or so and we'll jump back into that battery section and you may see a slow charging option appear or a slow charging prompt appear in the battery section of your device if you're using a slow charger and yes there it is so it took about I don't know 20 to 40 seconds to determine if this iPhone was actually charging at its Optimum speed or if it was charging slow you see there slow charger so that means that at this point I'm using a slow charger so that means I need to replace it so if you buy a charger that claims to be fast but you see this yellow on the charging meter it means you're actually charging your device slower than you could be charging your device so now we're going to go ahead and do the same thing but we're going to be using the actual 20 W charger so let's jump into the settings of this iPhone let's make sure we're not charging obviously so let's go here and take a look at that there it is we're not charging so now we're going to try the 20 W charger here so this is also compatible with Mac saave Chargers so if you buy a che2 compatible wireless charger but you see those yellows on the actual meter it means you actually have a slow wireless charger so just keep in mind that this also works with Ma saave so if you have the Max saave and the ch2 compatible ma saave then you shouldn't see those yellows on the charging meter keep that in mind if you do it means your max safe is a slow one you may want to replace it as well this one is the Apple authentic so this one can charge up to 15 watts of wireless charging so let's jump into settings here let's go into the battery section now with the 20 watt and take a look at those charge so right there you see that we're not getting the slow prompt so the optimal charging on this device would be anything from 20 watts or higher I've noticed that anything that's 10 or lower you'll see those yellows appear on the charging meters for your device so if you ever see this yellow on your device when charging your device you can go ahead and check your charger right now and see if you have any of those yellows on the charging meters if you do determine which charger you were using at that time and replace it because that means you're not charging your device at the fastest speed possible and yes iOS 18 makes this possible I think it's a great feature for users when they go to buy a fast wireless charger or a fast charger in general the software can actually determine if you're actually charging at the correct speed thank you for watching this quick update I hope you guys enjoy this video and I'll see you guys on the next one peace
