What is Clean Energy Charging on iPhone
Along with the iOS 16.1 (beta, for now) Apple has introduced Clean Energy Charging on the iPhone. This feature we find in Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging will try to reduce the carbon fingerprint through Selective battery charge when in our area is disposed Electricity with lower carbon emissions. When more available ENERGY ECO.
More on the meaning of all, carbon fingerprint (or CO2 imprint) represents Total emissions with greenhouse effect which a man, a device, a company, a factory, a car or anything else produces, produces within a period of time.
Carbon emissions (CO2) are greenhouse gases resulting from various human activities. An important CO2 emission has the charcoal thermal power plants that produce electricity.
To be honest this option is more marketing than something really useful. At least this option I do not think is effective in all countries. Somehow Apple must identify in each region the source of the electricity in the national network at the time of charging the battery iPhone.
During a day, in a national network electricity comes from several sources, depending on the demand. Termocentrals, wind power, hydroelectric power plants, nuclear power plants, photovoltaic panels and others.
Apple's recycling campaign
The iPhone 14 Pro is only one of the Apple devices this year that the company has built using as many recycled elements and as few elements harmful to the environment. For the iPhone 14 Pro, recycled gold and 100% yarn and circuits were used, 100% Wolfram and rare recycled elements for magnets, does not use plastic, PVC, arsenic and other polluting materials.
For 3 years No iPhone model comes with network feeder in the box (charger at the socket). The company has justified this decision by the fact that there are millions of feeders in people's homes that can be used for iPhone uploads. A controversial decision, but Apple is right in terms of reducing pollution.
