Reply to If you noticed your iPhone is charging a little slower it may be due to a new setting Apple added in iOS 16.1 — Clean Energy Charging. With it turned on, iOS will only recharge the iPhone's battery when the electrical grid uses cleaner energy sources like solar or wind. by RonSwazy

I had my iPhone on MagSafe overnight and it didn’t charge at all. Checked my battery setting and it was being charged to around 5% all night long. I turned it off and it’s charging fine now. I hate these dumb environmental claims Apple makes when we can’t repair AirPods.

I mean they can’t write a driver for every goddamn device in the world.

“Not actively supporting this extra thing” is not the same as “Limiting users from”.

I’m tired of this guesswork, especially from people who know jack shit about implementing hardware I/O from an OS.

BTW, the reason windows support everything is because they allow you to just install a driver, which is also the reason why devices don’t work like 20% of the same.

You want something that always works? That only happens in a closed system.

I’m confused, I have the latest M2 iPad Pro and it works with just about any USB-C accessory. As did my previous M1 iPad Pro. No iPad with USB-C needs a specific MFi charger for full speed charging. If the charger is lower wattage, it will charge slower, but that’s the case with all devices.

Precisely, it does say it’s just a rumour. Nothing confirmed by Apple at this stage.

With Mac’s and iPads running on USB-C already, this seems unlikely to happen just for the iPhone. They’d have already done this before on the iPad, when that moved over to USB-C.

2 ways. 1: the most obvious, it's one less cord you have to carry with you.

2: USB-C offers higher transfer speeds vs lightning. If you transfer a lot between your device and mac, you will notice the difference immediately. But that's playing devil's advocate, USB-C is an inferior engineering design, so, this is still going backwards, for Apple.

That’s not true.

Your iPhone will charge slower depending on when your geographical area's power grid has the most carbon usage. That could be 1-5am, but not necessarily.

Edit: Some research showed most carbon energy is produced during the day, so the situation is the exact opposite of what you're saying. Iphones with this setting will be charging more slowly during the day.

USB-C, ugh. 🤦From an engineering standpoint, the lightning cable is far superior ( the male end is on the cord, not the device).

I think it's cute, that people think apple is doing this because of anything the EU passed. 😂
