Apple is debuting the latest version of the smartphone OS, particularly with iOS 16.1 which delivers a new feature for all called Clean Energy Charging. The feature is exclusive to iOS 16.1 and it will only work for those who already upgraded their operating system to bring the company a chance to help people reduce their carbon footprints and emissions. 

This new charging system by Apple will help the environment by focusing on clean energy to replenish a device's power cell for continued use.

How Does the Clean Energy Charging Work?

According to 9to5 Mac, Apple said that Clean Energy Charging works when it already took a forecast of the energy grid in a user's location, selecting the best times to replenish the battery's power. It will only begin charging when the carbon emission is low, ensuring that the iPhone's charging experience does not add to its footprints. 

Apple and the iOS 16.1 Upgrade

Apple's iOS 16 arrived in the world in September, and despite not changing much to the operating system's interface, it still centers on new features arriving to iPhones and iPads eligible to upgrade. The company is on the verge of upgrading the smartphone OS to the latest version available to all, iOS 16.1. 

Many features arrived for the iOS 16.1, but one notable feature available for all is the Adaptive Transparency which arrived for the AirPods Pro 2nd generation. The only issue here is that it skips the feature for the 1st gen AirPods Pro for users connecting it to devices with an upgraded OS. 

Other features of the beloved iPhone operating system include the iCloud Shared Photo Library which will immediately upload the media from the Camera to the cloud drive. Additionally, it will deliver on the Apple Fitness+ upgrades that are slated for 16.1.

The new iOS 16.1 is offering massive features for iOS users to enjoy, with the upgrade being the first major release for the new OS since its October availability. Users are given a chance towards sustainability with Apple's latest Clean Energy Charging, centering on iOS 16.1 for all to use.
