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.RamunePOPtookmyname t1_ja3vhvf wrote
I’m a little slow, but how does this actually work? Like when I plug it in an outlet, how does it know when solar or wind energy is being used or available? Modern technology blows my mind man.

It must have something to do with a combination of your location (background location services/gps + the date/time settings for your phone) and whatever energy grid info it can pull to make an educated guess for electricity in your area 🤷🏻♀️
Not sure entirely how it works but that’s my guess 😅

100% correct.
Also, it only engages if you have a consistent pattern of charging, eg you charge it overnight every night at roughly the same time.
