PSA: iPhone 17 comes with a special new battery mode enabled

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel Mon, 15 Sep 2025 20:34:40 +0000

iOS 26 launched today for all users, packed with new features including battery-focused improvements. One addition is a new Adaptive Power battery mode that joins Low Power Mode, and is enabled by default on iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, and iPhone Air. Adaptive Power is on by default with iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air Low Power Mode has become a lifesaver for many iPhone users when their battery is drained. In iOS 26, Apple has added another battery mode that offers some overlap in

Apple's iPhone 17 is now available on store shelves, along with the super skinny iPhone Air and the powerful iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. You may be wondering whether to get the shiny new baseline iPhone 17 or buy last year's iPhone 16, which now costs $100 less. To help with that decision, here's a breakdown of how the two handsets compare. The iPhone 17 starts at $829 (or $799 if you activate with a carrier), the same as the iPhone 16 when it came out -- with the caveat that the iPhone 17 st

Adaptive Power in iOS 26 Could Boost Your iPhone Battery Life, but It's Not on All Models

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-19 16:00:03

When Apple announced the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air earlier this month, it touted improved battery life across the board and "all-day" battery for the iPhone Air, which has a physically smaller battery to fit inside its thin design. Some of that is due to physically larger batteries, but a new feature called Adaptive Power in iOS 26 is also contributing. And it's available on any iPhone capable of running Apple Intelligence. Currently, the iPhone uses as much power as it needs to p

The New ‘Batman’ Run Is 2025’s Best-Selling Comic Yet

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-21 09:00:53

Two weeks after Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez’s Batman began, it’s already hit a massive milestone. According to a press release, the inaugural comic has sold over 500,000 copies, making it the current top-selling comic of 2025. As the Hollywood Reporter notes, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1 from Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley, and Annalisa Leoni and Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s Batman #158—the start of their still-ongoing Hush sequel, which Fraction and Jiménez’s run is set after—take second

The iPhone Air’s real breakthrough is its battery

The iPhone Air’s thin design might be eye catching, and the amount of engineering that went into miniaturizing its logic board is impressive. But according to Gene Berdichevsky, co-founder and CEO of battery materials manufacturer Sila, the real breakthrough might lurk elsewhere inside the aluminum and glass enclosure. “The battery in the new iPhone is pretty remarkable,” Berdichevsky told TechCrunch. “The completely arbitrary, two-dimensional shape — you look at the shape, and it’s pretty amaz

iPhone Air review: Thinness with purpose

The iPhone Air is a device with shorter battery life, fewer cameras and a price tag that’s $200 more than a base iPhone 17. Sure, it’s got a bigger screen and it's unbelievably sleek, but no matter how you slice it, that value proposition doesn’t make sense. At least on paper. That’s because as soon as you hold an iPhone Air, you instantly get a sense that this handset represents much more than a simple quest for thinness.

Turns out an iPhone can be too thin and too light—maybe. That’s what I realized as I picked up the iPhone Air off the ground and inspected it for damage. Moments earlier, Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever—a 5.6mm glass and titanium metal sandwich that makes the previous thinnest iPhone, the 6.9mm iPhone 6, look fat by comparison—had flown out of my hands and fallen onto its screen, just as I pulled it out of my pocket.

Fourth Power’s sci-fi thermal batteries could be cheaper than pricey natural gas power plants

Fourth Power’s take on long-duration energy storage sounds like something out of a James Bond film. The thermal batteries come complete with superheated liquid tin and argon-filled hermetically sealed chambers. The company’s goal, though, is far more prosaic — to store electricity cheap enough to make solar and wind an obvious choice for 24/7 power. Here’s how the technology works: To store energy, electricity from the grid heats blocks of carbon inside insulated chambers filled with argon gas.
