As excitement builds ahead of WWDC 2025, new rumors suggest iOS 19 will feature AI-powered battery optimization as part of Apple’s growing “Apple Intelligence” initiative.

Smarter Battery Performance

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is developing a feature that uses artificial intelligence to monitor how you use your iPhone. It will then tweak the power usage of specific apps and background processes to extend battery life — potentially a major win for users dealing with battery drain.

Charging Time on Lock Screen

Another rumored addition is a new battery indicator on the lock screen that shows how long it will take to fully charge your iPhone. This could offer users more transparency and control over charging habits.

iPhone Air Clues?

These updates also add fuel to speculation that Apple may soon unveil an iPhone Air — a thinner device that would likely come with a smaller battery. Smarter power management could help compensate for any drop in physical battery capacity, making such a device more practical.

More details are expected when Apple kicks off WWDC on June 9.
