If you noticed your iPhone is charging a little slower it may be due to a new setting Apple added in iOS 16.1 — Clean Energy Charging. With it turned on, iOS will only recharge the iPhone's battery when the electrical grid uses cleaner energy sources like solar or wind.D_is_for_Dante t1_ja47niv wrote

Since most people charge their phones over night it doesn’t hurt them if it charged only when clean energy is available.
Would be more interesting to compare that to the additional data transfer caused by the feature.

It doesn’t hurt, no. But it isn’t really doing/saving that much when it’s only available in one region, and some in this thread have even mentioned it being disabled by default.
There are many other, (better), things Apple could do if they really cared about the environment, but I think we all know that.
