One small step...
So if you have an iPhone in the US you may have noticed that on the latest 16.3.1 update Apple flipped a switch on everyone's phones. That makes charging slower is what some of the headlines would say. But the real story is actually really interesting. So if you look now in battery health settings, there's a new setting called Clean Energy Charging.
And what it does is it tries to reduce your carbon footprint by only charging when your house is likely to be pulling from cleaner sources of energy based on your local electrical grid. That is kind of wild. Luckily, you can override it. You'll get a notification that says it's not charging and waiting for clean Energy you can bypass it.
But the interesting thing about this one is this setting is opt out. Meaning if you go to check your settings, it's going to be on by default. Now you know, charging your one iPhone at slightly more optimized hours won't make a big difference to your own personal carbon footprint. But Apple Flipping a switch for millions and millions of iPhones at once will probably in total make a really big difference to Total Energy saved a rare W for the environment.
I Also can guarantee this would be in a slide at the next Apple Keynote.
How much did you get payed for this?
Thanks! I just turned this bullshit off. It's hard to believe that something this stupid actually exists and is on by default.
I call it BS
Oh, this is like a b.s. media p.r. first step in making their company seem environmentally friendly after the irreparable damage with all the cobalt mining they've done.
Tate predicted it
Some dumb shit 😂
I just turn off
dont care, i want the dumn phone charged
Yeah as soon as I found out about this crap I shut it off on my phone and anyone else’s I can get my hands on
This is stupid
Yeah this is the most bullshit reason I’ve ever seen for jumping about anything Apple has done.
Probably not going to do anything at all
