The new iPhones have the Adaptive Power feature of iOS 26 enabled by default

The new iPhones have the Adaptive Power feature of iOS 26 enabled by default, according to an Apple support document. 

According to the tech giant, Adaptive Power helps extend your iPhone’s battery life when you use it more. It works automatically in the background, so you don’t have to manage it. Adaptive Power uses on-device intelligence to predict when you’ll need extra battery life based on your recent usage patterns and then adjusts as needed to help your battery last longer that day. 

Apple notes that Adaptive Power doesn’t manage performance while you use features that require maximum performance, such as when using camera or playing games with Game Mode on. You can disable it if you wish. To turn Adaptive Power on or off:

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Battery. 
3. Tap Power mode
4. Turn Adaptive Power on or off.
