Mayo, you posted a picture on Twitter this morning. It was a screenshot of your lock screen. You were showing an adaptive power notification that you got on your iPhone air. I've been getting these now every day. See, I never got them. I got them every day for like a week and now I haven't gotten one in like another week. I don't understand. Yeah, I didn't get them the entire September. I put 26.1 beta on the air, and now I get them every day.

And I don't know when they're supposed to kick in or what is supposed to do, because it's very nebulous.

But, like, my phone's on, you know, 70% battery.

It's only midday.

Adaptive power iPhone is adjusted performance to help but extend your battery life.

And whether that notification was visible now on the screen or not, I would not be the

wiser. The phone performs identically. Yeah, perceptively. Like, I'm sure if you did a benchmark,

maybe it's slightly lower, but for any, all intents and purposes of me using the phone,

nothing has changed. And obviously, the reason the adaptive power notifications are on by default is because it all harkens back to the paranoia of battery-related throttling, right?

And, you know, Apple went to court over it in 2018 on all that stuff when I think we can all kind of agree that at a technical level they were doing the right thing, but the communication was not the best,

and so it got a lot of people mad,

and it fueled the conspiracy theories.

So now anything they do related to battery management,

whether it's the optimized charging or anything else,

they always have to put a little like notifications

and status symbols to make sure customers aren't going to start a new class action also over it.

So on this one, adaptive power is on by default on the iPhone air, but there is a setting to turn off

adaptive power together and turn off just the notifications. So I can turn off the notifications

and I don't get annoyed with a daily alert that is literally

meaningless.

I don't really see the need to turn off adaptive power altogether because if it's given me

a little battery boost, great because I literally don't notice it.
