iPhone battery life has been a growing concern, particularly since the
performance throttling snafuthat started at the end of last year. With the
Battery Health beta available in both iOS 11 and 12, the latest version also
offers improved battery statistics as well.
Paired with the new Screen Time software, the enhanced battery statistics in
iOS 12 help users get a better picture of how they’re using their devices,
understand system resources and more. While iOS 11 offered some battery data,
iOS 12 brings more specifics, including graphs.
Note: iOS 12 is currently only available as a developer beta, however, a public
beta will likely be released sometime soon.
