That’s an interesting article, however I only made mention of “if your electricity comes from coal”. According to the article some states still have coal fired electricity.
Don’t want to get too off-topic here regarding clean energy but Evs have other issues such as they are disposable, recycling the batteries is difficult and expensive, the mining and smelting operations. The source of the pollution is just transferred.
That said clean energy is a massive business.
Can someone please tell me that this means? Sorry if I sound stupid but that does not make cense to me in cell phones.
Is it suppose to be like distributed computing? Or something else.
Thanks

I know it’s in a beta, but that doesn’t tell you everything about how it will be implemented in different areas. We will know a lot more when it’s actually released 🤷.
China's achievements are stolen innovations propped up by lies. China is a joke.
If it’s the first in the world, how can it be stolen?
China is not what you think it is anymore.
China isn't what you think it is
I didn't know China's wind and solar farms and the first in the world excuse me
That's what I was wondering. My electric utility has an optional variable rate program and you can choose your generation provider and whether they use renewables, but by default you just get their generation partner and pay the same rate no matter the time of day.
I'm wonder how Apple will know whether you participate in variable rates or buy from a green power generator (maybe they just ask?), and how they determine when those greener options are in use. As was pointed out, most people just charge at night. That's when solar is least effective. It will be interesting to see how they implement all this.
The grid is the grid. At any one point in time your grid may consist of a mixture of coal, nuclear, hydroelectric fossil fuel , or wind turbine regardless of your chosen provider. Apple may know what’s in the grid and pick the best time.
Clean Energy charging? What a worthless option they call a feature!
Yes, will you get a popup that states, "No charging due to dirty power"?
is this true?

iPhone users claim Apple is trying to TRICK them into upgrading by quietly slowing charging when 'clean energy' isn't used
iPhone users claim Apple is trying to TRICK them into upgrading
Users believe Apple quietly added the Clean Energy Charging feature 'to trick' them into buying new iPhone models when their device was taking ages to charge.
If it's the Daily Mail, it's clickbait. Find a better source for your information, you won't regret it.is this true?

You know, I was wondering how this could possibly have been worthy of the "political news" subform. Somehow, I'm not even surprised at this thread devolving by the third reply for an optional feature. But at least I know now. I mean, I do think it's a silly attempt at greenwashing as well, and Apple seems to be really leaning into that angle, but I think a couple people here could use a hobby.
