iOS 18.2's new charging feature is very useful/iPhone 17 will use a 90Hz refresh rate screen

iOS 18.2 new charging features

Recently, a developer discovered a new feature in the internal code of the iOS 18.2 beta version.

According to foreign media 9to5Mac, with the release of iOS 18.2 Beta 2, developers discovered a new framework called "BatteryIntelligence". This framework can mainly detect the current energy input power.

When the user turns on this feature, if the iPhone is charging, they can see how long it will take to fully charge. This feature is already available on Mac.

This feature is likely to be launched in the subsequent beta version of iOS 18.2. Friends who are interested in this feature can look forward to it.

Apple has already launched a number of new features related to battery health in iOS 18. These include an 80% charging limit function and a slow charging reminder function that have been launched on some models.

Many Apple products use 90Hz refresh rate screens

As of this year's new iPhone 16, Apple still equips the standard version of the phone with a 60Hz refresh rate screen, which is a gap from the 120Hz refresh rate of the Pro version.

However, there are rumors that next year's iPhone 17 standard version may have a screen upgrade. Previously, DSCC analyst Ross Young said that Apple plans to equip all next year's iPhone 17 with LTPO panels, supporting a maximum screen adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz.

Ross Young accurately revealed last year that the iPhone 16 Pro would use 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens, so his news attracted a lot of attention.

Now according to the latest news, anonymous sources said that Apple is planning a batch of new Liquid screen panels with a refresh rate fixed at around 90Hz, and plans to use them in its own products next year.

The anonymous source said that the 90Hz display technology will first debut on the next-generation M3 iPad Air in early 2025, and then be used in other products. As for the 24-inch iMac that has just been updated to the M4 chip, it may not be able to use this new technology until the end of 2025.

Apple may also apply the 90Hz screen to the iPhone. The screen refresh rate of the standard version of the iPhone 17 has been upgraded to 90Hz, while maintaining a gap with the 120Hz refresh rate of the iPhone 17 Pro, which is in line with Apple's usual style.
