If you've updated your iPhone to the latest version and noticed that your phone is charging at a slower rate, rest assured, you're not the only one suffering from it. Apple has introduced a new feature to conserve energy called Clean Energy Charging, or clean energy charging for the iPhone, since the iOS 16.1 update. Here are some tips for the fast and correct shipping method for the iPhone.
What is the advantage of clean energy charging?
The goal of this feature is to reduce your carbon footprint by preferring charging when your electricity grid is running on clean energy, such as generating electricity from wind or the sun. The question here is, how does Apple know that the electricity grid is now using clean energy to generate electricity? There is cooperation between Apple and electric companies in the United States, for these companies to provide Apple with this information, so this feature only works in the United States at the present time.
If you plug your iPhone into electricity, Clean Energy Charging technology will monitor your local power grid and adjust your phone's charging speed accordingly, prioritizing the use of cleaner energy sources. As a result, during periods of high energy demand or peak hours, usually between 2 pm and 7 pm, the iPhone may charge more slowly.
While it is hard to dispute the benefits of a function that supports sustainability and a cleaner environment, there are cases where speed is critical, and a standard charge rate or a faster charge rate is required. In addition, some users may not realize that Apple has enabled the clean energy charging feature as a default, and this may be hidden from many. And if you find yourself in such a situation, here's how to disable the new charging feature.
How to turn off clean energy charging
Go to Settings - Battery - Battery health, then turn off the Clean Power Charge setting.
Why don't I see the clean energy charging setting?
If you cannot find the Clean Energy Charging option, it is likely that your iPhone is not working with iOS 16.1 or later, and remember that this feature only works in the United States, so you must change the region to the United States for a menu to appear. Charging with clean energy. To access the feature, you must update to the latest version. And if your charging speed is still slow even after updating and closing the settings, buy a compatible fast charger considering the quality of the charging cable.
What is the best correct way to charge the iPhone?
Truth Mobile device experts have mixed opinions about the best charging method. However, they put broad lines and said that it is useful in reducing battery degradation.
◉ Use an Apple-approved charging cable to ensure safe and efficient charging.
◉ Do not fully charge your phone every time to slow down the maximum capacity of the battery.
◉ Keep your phone's battery level between 20% and 80% for optimal performance and battery longevity.
◉ Avoid exposing your phone to extreme temperatures, as this may damage the battery and sometimes it may explode.
◉ If possible, remove your phone case while charging to prevent excessive heat buildup.
◉ Use battery-saving features like Low Power Mode or Airplane Mode when you don't need full functionality to extend battery life and charge quickly.
◉ If you are not going to use your phone for a long time, store it at around 50% battery level to prevent over-discharging or overcharging.
◉ Update your phone's apps regularly to ensure that it runs efficiently and doesn't waste battery power due to a bug in one of these apps.
Here are some tips to charge the iPhone quickly
◉ Use an Apple-certified fast charger with a USB-C to Lightning cable. This can charge your iPhone up to 50% in just 30 minutes, if your phone supports fast charging.
◉ Turn on Airplane Mode while charging the iPhone to reduce battery usage and allow it to charge faster.
◉ If you don't have a fast charger, use an iPad charger or a high-power USB port on your computer to charge faster than a standard charger.
◉ Close any unnecessary apps and stop background processes to reduce battery usage and speed up charging.
◉ Avoid using your phone while charging, as this can slow down the charging process and cause the battery to overheat.

Slow charging in iPhone is not a defect but rather an advantage
It is really an unwanted feature
Where Apple will not allow the iPhone to fast charge
And if Apple was really interested in the iPhone, the safety of the battery, and the safety of the environment, as this company claims, it would have been supposed to put an original approved charger in the iPhone box. With a certified charger to ensure the preservation of the iPhone and its battery, this company was also supposed to put an effective cooling system in the iPhone so that there would be no overheating that might lead to damage to the phone or battery over time.
Instead, Apple puts simple features that are not very useful. Rather, it is useful for the company to put useful features for the phone or battery through hardware and not software. The features added through the hardware will be effective and greatly useful and much more than what is added to the software.
Is the magsafe charger from Anker approved or not, and does it harm the phone battery?
@mohamed osman Yes, you can use the Magsafe charger from Anker, but you must make sure that it is compatible with your device. As for the effect on the battery, if the charger is certified and compatible, there is no problem
This article came at the right time, as I noticed in the past days that the phone consumes the battery faster, even if I used a car charger, but I did not know the reason. Now I canceled this option, hoping that there will be an improvement in the coming days.
Is the MagSafe Energizer charger certified or original and does it not harm the battery??
@Amr Yousry Yes, the Magsafe charger made by Energizer is made by a XNUMXrd party company and not endorsed by Apple, so we cannot be sure of its quality and compatibility with your device. But you can use the original Apple Magsafe charger for best performance. As for the effect on the battery, if the charger is approved and compatible with your device, then there is no risk to the device
I sometimes use the Magsafe charger, but I noticed the heat of the device from the back and the charger itself is very hot. I expect it to be a negative thing if it is not the stupidest wireless charger
Thanks Salman for your comment. Using a Magsafe charger can cause the device and the charger to overheat, which is normal. But if the heat is severe, there may be a defect, of course, assuming that you are talking about an original charger
Optimized battery off charging will help fast charging without limitation.
Settings > Battery > Battery Health > Optimized Battery Charging📴
Thank you for your comment, MohammedJassim. Don't forget that turning this feature off will hurt battery life. Optimized Battery Charging is intended to improve battery life by not charging it to 100%.
The region must be changed to United States for the clean energy shipping list to appear
I mean, Apple agrees with the electricity companies and stores the locations of the areas that receive clean electricity to reduce carbon emissions. Frankly, I did not understand the reason because I was not convinced of the aforementioned reason from Apple, but I do not know what is the benefit of this data because the electric car companies are more important than the iPhone.
@arkan assaf Thanks for your comment! The goal of clean energy charging is to reduce your carbon footprint by preferring charging when your electricity grid is running on clean energy generating electricity. This feature works in cooperation between Apple and the electricity companies in the United States. And do not underestimate the people who charge their phone daily and the energy wasted from this charge. So it is a step in the right direction and all companies should do something similar.
Apple, like many global companies, has an environmental conservation program, whether for humanitarian or marketing reasons, or both. As part of this program, the company encourages the production of environmentally friendly products and encourages (and sometimes forces) its suppliers and contractors to do the same. Now we see the company also encouraging its customers to use clean electricity. Of course, this project will not bear fruit unless there is a partnership between Apple on the one hand and electricity companies and local governments on the other. I think this project could succeed in a country like the United States or Europe, but it will not make sense in countries that do not have clean electricity or effective environmental conservation programs, as is the case in most of our Arab countries, at least for the time being.
Abu Amir, this is a wonderful response from you, may God reward you.
Do you answer the comments and questions of the followers through artificial intelligence, MIMV?
Hello Ahmad Al-Hamdani! Yes, I answer the comments and questions of the followers through artificial intelligence. Do you have any questions or concerns about the topic mentioned in the article?
Hi
Do you charge MagSafe
Better to save the battery of the device
Or does it affect battery life
@B Napolitano Thanks for your comment! There is no evidence that MagSafe charging affects the battery life of the device. MagSafe is a fast and efficient charging method for iPhone. Do you have any other questions?
Peace, mercy and blessings of God ,
It seems that the clean energy charging option feature is exclusive to the new phones, iPhone 14, and God knows best.
@Mootje Mo Thanks for your comment! Indeed, clean energy charging is currently only available in America, the region must be changed to United States in order for the clean energy charging menu to appear. To make sure the feature is turned on, you must update your phone to iOS 16.1 or later. Do you have any other questions?
