Apple’s iOS 19 Rumored to have AI-powered Battery Management Apple’s iOS 19 Rumored to have AI-powered Battery Management

We’ve still got about a month until Apple‘s WWDC 2025 event, but that hasn’t stopped the rumors from flying about potential iOS 19 announcements.

As Endgadget reports, the latest brings a new one from Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, who reports that Apple is working on a new AI-driven battery management feature for its next operating system update.

According to his sources, Apple will use AI to analyze iPhone usage trends and make adjustments to the power draw of different apps to better conserve battery on the device. iOS 19 will reportedly also add a battery indicator to the lock screen detailing how long it will take the phone to fully charge up.

A more personalized improvement to battery life further points toward the speculation that this year will see Apple unveil an iPhone Air. As with its laptop counterpart, a slimmer chassis means a much smaller battery, so any path to eking out more performance will be key to making that new smartphone land with potential buyers.

This new battery management feature would be part of the company’s Apple Intelligence suite, which has been slowly rolling out since last fall to mid and meh reactions. We likely won’t know until WWDC whether the iOS 19 overhaul will include the features we reallyreally want.
