If you noticed your iPhone is charging a little slower it may be due to a new setting Apple added in iOS 16.1 — Clean Energy Charging. With it turned on, iOS will only recharge the iPhone's battery when the electrical grid uses cleaner energy sources like solar or wind.ToffeeCoffee t1_ja2qavp wrote
I'm all for saving the planet, but of all the dumb things ... this is pretty dumb.
Generally when you plug in to charge your phone, you NEED to charge your phone.

Yep, I got burned by this “feature” last week when I needed to charge my phone in the late evening. I walked away and didn’t notice til an hour later that it basically hadn’t charged at all.

This. I am a progressive as fuck millennial, I’m all for almost anything that helps the planet. But when I am at 40% battery and my phone charges by 3% in an hour before going out, it pisses me off. Just found out about it and turned it off.
