Apple announced a new feature in IOS 18 updateIt allows users to know the time even when the iPhone battery runs out. This is extremely important for those who rely entirely on their phones to know the time, especially during work hours or even to know important appointments. This feature is familiar to Apple Watch users, but it is the first of its kind on iPhone devices. Learn about this feature and how it works.
Time display feature when the battery runs out
When your iPhone runs out of battery, it will still display the time on the screen. Along with the time, an image of an empty battery and the word “iPhone is Findable” will appear, indicating that the “Find My” service is still working. This feature is not entirely new, as previous iPhones displayed the phrase “My iPhone can be found” when the battery was very low, if you activated the Find My feature on the iPhone, but the addition of the time display is a big improvement.
The introduction of new improvements, such as the information that appears on the screen when the battery runs out, is due to the battery retaining some reserve power so that this information remains effective for up to approximately five hours after the battery runs out.
Improvements in battery charging and charging limits control
The iOS 18 update also brings other battery-related improvements, especially for the latest iPhone devices such as the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Also, users will be able to control charging levels in more detail, as they can now set a charging limit at 80%, 85%, 90%, and even 95% of full charge. This improvement is intended to improve long-term battery life, as it is recommended not to leave the battery fully charged for long periods. This is because leaving it fully charged for long periods can lead to deterioration of its condition due to several factors related to the chemical composition of the battery and how it operates, such as:
Chemical stress
Lithium-ion batteries, the common type in smartphones, work by moving lithium ions between the anode (positive electrode) and cathode (negative electrode) during charging and discharging. When a battery is fully charged, lithium ions are highly concentrated in the anode, causing stress to the chemicals inside the battery.
high heat
Charging the battery to 100% generates excess heat. High temperatures lead to unwanted chemical reactions inside the battery, causing corrosion of the active materials and reducing their efficiency over time.
Interaction of electrodes
When a battery is fully charged, the electrodes are more likely to interact with the electrolyte, which is the liquid or gel that helps transport ions inside the battery. These reactions can lead to the formation of unwanted compounds on the surface of the electrodes, reducing their effective capacitance.
Periodic shipping
Using the battery within a charge range between 20% and 80% reduces stress on it. Batteries that are regularly charged and discharged within this range stay in better condition over the long term than those that are continuously fully charged.
Traditional methods of charging phones relied on charging them fully and then recharging them when needed, but this method is not the best for the health of the battery in the long term, as we mentioned. Thanks to the new options in iOS 18, users will be able to set a specific charging limit based on their preferences and daily needs. The battery can be recharged to 100% only when needed, for example when traveling and charging sources cannot be found.
Take advantage of dark mode
The iOS 18 update brings a new dark look that applies to all parts of the screen, including application icons. This adjustment helps save some energy, especially on OLED displays that rely on individual pixels to light up.
Compatibility and future updates
These features include important improvements that are not available for all iPhone devices. The feature of displaying the time when the battery runs out is currently only available for iPhone 15 devices. It was tested on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and it worked successfully, but this feature did not appear on the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It is uncertain whether this feature will be limited to Pro models only, and more information is expected to be available closer to the launch date.
Warnings and recommendations
Do not update to iOS 18 now, wait for the final version in September
The iOS 18 update is currently available in a beta version for developers only, which may be unstable and negatively affect battery performance and other iPhone functions. The public beta version is expected to be launched soon, and it is preferable not to update the basic iPhone to the beta version to avoid any potential problems.
In short, iOS 18 updates come with important battery-related features and improvements, including displaying the time when the battery is running out and improving charging levels to improve battery life in the long term. However, users should be aware of the compatibility and warnings related to the current beta version to avoid any problems they may encounter.

Can we find the WhatsApp application on the iPad?
Hello Muhammad Al-Nasser 🙋♂️. Currently, WhatsApp is not officially available on iPad. But you can use WhatsApp Web through the web browser on the iPad. We hope that the application will soon be available on iPad! 🤞🍏
Thank you so much 🌹
Ok, what do you think? From August 8 until now, I always charge my phone 2021%, and most days, meaning two to three times a week, zero%, and now the battery is 100%. What do you think? Is it normal?
Hello Ali Hussein Al-Marfadi 🙋♂️, It is natural for the battery capacity to deteriorate over time and heavy use, but frequent charging from 0% to 100% may contribute to accelerating this deterioration. It is preferable to keep the battery charge between 20% and 80% to improve its lifespan. In addition, the Optimized Battery Charging feature in iOS can be used to manage the charging process and maintain battery health. 📱🔋😉
I don't remember any exact update, but I made a foolish decision when I updated my primary phone to the trial version, and then I traveled for tourism. I literally did not use the phone while traveling due to the many malfunctions, hangs, and horrific battery discharge. I bought a power bank, and the power bank emptied in half of the trip. After this bad experience with updating to the Beta version, I decided not to update at all until it is officially released to the public in September, and sometimes I do not update the official version, wait for the new phone to become available and buy it with the new version.
Hello Saeed Obaid 😊, yes I agree with you, beta updates may be unstable and cause some problems. Therefore, we always recommend waiting until the official version is released. This step guarantees you a better and more stable user experience 📱👍.
Hahahahahaha They always say, “Safety in delay, and regret in haste,” but what do we do with the curiosity that kills us? This is human nature.
I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max that I bought exactly at the time of release, and it has 374 charging cycles now, and I want to inquire about the health of the battery because it has reached 89% now. Is this normal or should I send it for service?
Hello Naif 🙋♂️, regarding the battery health in your device, it reaching 500% after XNUMX charging cycles is normal. iPhone batteries usually start to run low after about XNUMX charging cycles. Therefore, if the battery is working well and does not consume charge abnormally quickly, there is no need to worry or send it for service. 😄🔋📱
I do not see the issue as normal compared to my device, as the battery percentage in my device is 98% and 260 charging cycles, and I purchased the device in October 2023, and if we measure 260 cycles equivalent to 2% of the battery’s health, you will feel that there is something abnormal regarding your device’s battery, which consumed 11 % during 347 charging cycles!!
Nothing shortens battery life like wireless charging
Due to the high heat generated by this method, even when using the original accessories
Dear, I am suffering from a problem with the gold pounds not being dropped correctly
Dear Abdul Aziz, 😊
Obviously your problem is not related to the article mentioned above. But as an Apple expert, I'd like to give you some advice. There may be an error in the application you are using to get gold pounds. Try restarting your device and updating the application to the latest available version. If the issue persists, it may be best to contact customer support for the app.
📱💰👍🏼
I think that the battery in the iPhone should be stronger in future versions. I currently use an iPhone
Pro Max 95, the percentage has decreased to XNUMX%
The charging cycle is 264. I started using the phone in November 2023 and I am not happy because of the low percentage. Is there a problem with the battery or what?
Hello Muhammad, 😊 Don’t worry, the battery percentage that you have reached in your iPhone Pro Max 15 is considered normal for this period of use. 📱💪🏼 The battery is affected by the number of times it is charged and intensive use. There is nothing wrong with your device, but you can always follow some tips to keep your battery life as long as possible. 😉👍🏼
Why did you cancel the 80% recharge feature from your program list?
Siri's stupidity means determination and persistence. Literally, every time I tell her when this series was produced, she says, "I found that on the web. Here's what I found."
Peace and mercy of God
What is the reason for not releasing an official version of WhatsApp for iPads?
How can I record my voice and make it sound like a speaker?
Hello friends, from my personal experience, I found that changing the battery charging pattern actually had a deteriorating effect on the iPhone battery charging. I mean, for almost 9 months, I was charging it at night and removing it from charging in the morning. The battery dropped 5%, and then I changed the pattern. I started charging it all the time, at any time, in the car. Within 3 months, the battery deteriorated to 87%. I imagine the difference in pattern, in my case, is what affected the battery. Sorry for the long post
Hi Ali 🙋♂️, Thanks for sharing your personal experience about charging an iPhone battery. Obviously, changing the charging pattern has an impact on battery life. This is really to be expected, as constant charging at any time may lead to rapid deterioration of the battery health. It is always preferable to stick to moderate charging and avoid charging the device for long periods of time continuously. 📱🔌💡
I had an iPhone 13. I used to charge it at night and take it out in the morning. The battery deteriorated during its last days with me. I tried charging it up to 80%. I discovered that the battery health continued for a long time without decreasing, unlike before. Now I have had an iPhone 15 from the day I got it and I have been charging it at the same time. The method is up to 80%, and I advise people to do this, and you will notice a big difference. Sorry for the long delay.
Hello Amir, 🙋♂️
You are considered one of the people who know how to maintain the health of the iPhone battery. Reducing the battery charge to more than 80% actually contributes to maintaining its lifespan. 📱🔋 And of course, with the charging limits control feature in the iOS 18 update, this will become easier and more effective. 😊 Thank you for your useful advice for iPhoneIslam readers! 👏👏
I think that the feature of showing the time after the battery runs out will be limited to the iPhone Pro and Pro Max because the ProMotion screen can reduce the refresh rate to 1 as in the Watch.
Hello Hani 🙋♂️ According to the information available so far, the feature to display the time when the battery runs out is only available for iPhone 15 devices. However, it has not been confirmed yet if it will be limited to the Pro models only. We will still share more details about this feature once it becomes available. Enjoy the day! 😊📱
A wonderful feature, thank you
