Apple is working on an AI-powered battery-saving tool for iOS 19, expected in 2025. It will learn from how users use their devices to better manage power. Based on data from iPhone users, it aims to make batteries last longer, especially for the slim iPhone 17 Air, which is rumored to have a smaller battery due to its thin design.
As Apple prepares to launch iOS 19 in September 2025 alongside the new iPhone 17 models, reports from Bloomberg reveal a new AI-based feature. Unlike Android’s static battery tools, Apple’s system uses artificial intelligence to analyze user habits like app activity and time of day. This allows it to adjust power use in real time, managing background apps to save energy more efficiently.
The timing lines up with rumors about the iPhone 17 Air, a possible replacement for the Plus version. The new model might be just 6.6mm thick, making for an ultra-slim phone. Its battery could be smaller than the 3,561mAh battery in the iPhone 16. Apple hopes its AI system will help make up for the smaller battery by managing power better.
If everything goes well, Apple could keep the iPhone 17 Air running all day, even with its tiny battery. The AI system for battery saving is already being trained with real-world usage data. This gives it a good starting point before the release. For those curious, we have a full look at the iPhone 17 Air here.
This idea of smarter power use sounds promising. While Samsung hasn’t said much about using AI for battery saving, its Galaxy S25 Ultra does well in tests. It keeps up with larger phones that have batteries over 6000mAh without losing much performance.
The new battery feature in iOS 19 might change how phones save power. It could improve battery life for chips like the A19 in the iPhone 17. Some people on X believe it will come with watchOS 12 and macOS 16 too. Will this AI help keep the iPhone 17 Air powered all day? Or is Apple relying too much on software to fix hardware limits? We will see.
